Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from the rhythmic bossa nova of track 2 into the melancholic, accordion-led waltz of track 3.

The way the vocals on track 10 drop into a near-whisper, supported only by a single, resonant upright bass line.

The unexpected synth flourish that brightens the bridge of track 6, contrasting with the otherwise organic instrumentation.

Where This Album Departs

How does Photogénique sound next to the rest of Pomplamoose's catalogue?

Acoustic Guitar+2.3σ

The instrumentation foregrounds acoustic guitar far more than the catalogue usually does.
