Moments Worth Listening For
The ominous, descending minor-key guitar hook that opens the title track, perfectly capturing a noir film aesthetic.
The driving, syncopated drum fills on 36-24-36 that provide a rare moment of aggressive energy.
The bright, cascading melody of Kon-Tiki which feels like sunlight breaking through a cloud layer.
