Moments Worth Listening For
The seamless transition from the brassy swagger of Float into the laid-back groove of Champagne Shit.
The heavy, dub-influenced bassline on Lipstick Lover that feels like it was recorded in a humid basement.
The way the percussion layers build and breathe during the polyrhythmic climax of Phenomenal.
