Moments Worth Listening For

The skeletal, ticking percussion on Tower of Song that forces the vocal to carry the entire weight of the narrative.

The heartbreaking restraint in the cover of Charlie Darwin where the power of his voice is traded for a fragile, airy vulnerability.

The way the room noise and breath are audible during the quietest passages of Lone Pilgrim, making it feel like he is inches away.
