Moments Worth Waiting For
The arrival of the lush, cinematic string section on Shadow that elevates the bedroom-pop origins into something grander.
The way the title track Nocturne builds its hypnotic, circular guitar riff into a dense wall of shimmering sound.
The driving, melodic bass hook of Only Heather that anchors the airy vocal melodies with a post-punk urgency.
