Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, jarring entry of the brass section in 'The Kiss' that transforms a delicate piano line into a driving march.
The way the vocal lines in 'Nose List Song' interweave with the woodwinds to create a dizzying, recursive spiral.
The transition into 'Synchronising' where the disparate rhythmic elements finally lock into a singular, unstoppable groove.
