Moments Worth Listening For

The way the percussion on Sudden Laughter, Laughter Without Reason mimics the erratic, staccato bursts of human vocalizations through a purely acoustic lens.

The sprawling eight-minute architecture of The Immense Endless Belt of Faces where the rhythm feels like it is constantly folding in on itself.

The subtle, dub-inflected space between the snare hits on Breaches Breaches that suggests a ghost of a dance floor.
