Moments Worth Listening For

The iconic Seven Nation Army riff rendered as a heavy, thrumming cello ostinato that maintains the original's menacing drive.

The frantic, interlocking violin runs on Fell in Love With a Girl that mimic the breathless energy of the garage rock original.

The shift to a gentle, pastoral lilt on We're Going to Be Friends, where the strings capture the childhood innocence of the lyrics.
