Moments Worth Listening For

The way the female backing vocals swell like a ghostly tide on the opening of Place Names, setting a cinematic, velvet-draped tone.

The sudden, sharp crack of the snare and the rolling piano groove that drives the rhythmic swagger of The Spanish Look.

The gorgeous, slow-burning instrumental drift of Promène Bleu, where the saxophone takes on a smoky, late-night jazz club character.
