Moments Worth Listening For
The gorgeous, soaring vocal harmonies of Angel Olsen lifting the chorus of 'Opposite House' into a dreamy, weightless space.
The sudden, jazzy saxophone solo that breaks through the smooth, late-night groove of 'Switch' like a neon light in the dark.
The hypnotic, steady bassline of 'Bum Bum Bum' that anchors the song's devastating allegorical critique of systemic violence.
