Moments Worth Listening For

The way the strings swell on Daydreamin' as the narrative shifts from a toy robot to the harsh realities of the projects.

The rhythmic clicking of a skateboard serving as the percussive backbone of Kick, Push.

The chilling, cinematic storytelling of The Cool where a man literally crawls out of his own grave in a burial suit.
