Moments Worth Listening For
The iconic, trunk-rattling bassline of Black Mags that feels like it's physically moving the air.
The minimalist cowbell and snapping percussion on Mikey Rocks that forces a rhythmic head-nod.
The nostalgic synth melody on Gold and a Pager that evokes a 1980s arcade aesthetic.
