Moments Worth Waiting For
The propulsive, bright guitar jangle that kicks off Good Fortune with uncharacteristic optimism.
Thom Yorke's ghostly, interlocking vocals on This Mess We're In creating a haunting urban dialogue.
The slow, trip-hop influenced build of We Float that resolves the album in a wash of electronic warmth.
