Moments Worth Listening For

The explosive communal energy of the opening title track where the rhythm section locks into a high-octane reggae-pop groove.

The stripped-back acoustic vulnerability halfway through track 5 that builds into a massive layered vocal harmony.

The unexpected funk-influenced bass breakdown in track 10 that shifts the album's momentum toward a dancefloor feel.
