The explosive, dual-guitar opening of Care Less, where Betsy Wright's sharp backing vocals cut through the overdriven static.

The propulsive, driving drum intro of Climb the Walls, marking Laura King's debut with a relentless, pocket-locked beat.

The soaring, bittersweet melodic climax of Some Green, where the guitars swell into a wall of warm, fuzzy hopefulness.
