Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive, distorted opening riff of 10 A.M. Automatic that feels like a physical punch.
The sudden shift to heartbreaking vulnerability on The Lengths, where the fuzz gives way to clean, weeping slide guitar.
The clattering, industrial percussion on Grown So Ugly that sounds like the factory itself is playing along.
