Moments Worth Listening For
The slow-burn tension of Artificial Nocturne breaking into a wide-screen synth climax
Lou Reed's gravelly, detached guest vocal providing a stark contrast to Emily Haines' airy delivery on The Wanderlust
The propulsive, stomping drum beat of Youth Without Youth that feels like a mechanical heartbeat
