Moments Worth Listening For
The cinematic, eight-minute spaghetti western sprawl of Outlaw Pete that opens the record with whistling and galloping rhythms.
The lush, 1960s-inspired vocal harmonies on Surprise, Surprise that lean into pure pop sweetness.
The stark, weary acoustic intimacy of The Wrestler acting as a somber coda to the album's bright production.
