Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden, urgent shift in 'Dark Red' where the bassline thickens and the vocal urgency peaks.
The way 'Some' resolves the EP with its breezy, cyclical guitar riff and layered vocal harmonies.
The raw, unpolished vocal texture on 'Ryd' that sounds like it was whispered directly into your ear.
