Out on the Road

A gritty, travel-worn pivot toward power pop. The band swaps sunshine for the open road, trading their 60s jangle for muscular riffs and soulful, Swedish-led vocals.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The driving, muscular guitar riff that anchors the title track, signaling a departure from their jangle-pop roots.
The surprisingly soulful, grit-flecked lead vocal on 'I Was Born a Man' that pushes the band into bluesier territory.
The expansive, jet-engine-mimicking fade out of 'Trans-Atlantic West Bound Jet' that captures the era's travel obsession.
