Moments Worth Listening For

The stomping, hand-clapping revival energy that kicks off 'Little White Church' with a gritty vocal edge.

The way the four voices lock into a shimmering, wall-of-sound chord during the bridge of 'The Reason Why'.

The atmospheric, rain-slicked piano and pedal steel interplay that opens 'Rain on a Tin Roof'.

The rhythmic tension of 'Shut Up Train' where the vocals mimic the relentless clatter of tracks.
