Moments Worth Listening For
The seamless transition from the mystical, minor-key 'Aquarius' into the gospel-inflected explosion of 'Let the Sunshine In'.
The surprising, brass-heavy soul reimagining of Cream's 'Sunshine of Your Love' that transforms psych-rock into a big-band showcase.
The intricate, weaving vocal harmonies on 'The Hideaway' that demonstrate the group's technical precision over a sophisticated arrangement.
