Moments Worth Waiting For
The interlocking vocal harmonies on the title track that feel like a single multi-tonal instrument.
The sharp, rhythmic synth stabs on 'Evil' that perfectly punctuate the sisters' aggressive vocal delivery.
The transition into the bridge of 'Here Is Where Your Love Belongs' where the arrangement opens up into a lush, soulful swell.
