Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden, sharp shift into the high-pitched chorus of Dance Monkey that feels like a vocal rubber band snapping.
The atmospheric, slightly ominous synth swell that opens the title track before the beat drops.
The way the vocal grit intensifies during the bridge of Never Seen the Rain, revealing a more vulnerable texture.
