Moments Worth Listening For
The way the nine-minute centerpiece 'Breathe' locks into a hypnotic, slow-burning groove elevated by Liza Violet's ethereal guest vocals.
Joe Casey's distinctive, commanding spoken-word delivery cutting through the driving, mechanical pulse of 'The Light at Night'.
The transition into 'Comedown', where the album's tense, rhythmic energy finally dissolves into a warm, ambient-leaning resolution.
