Moments Worth Listening For
The rhythmic breathing and guttural chants that form the backbone of track 2, creating a primal sense of urgency.
The sudden shift from the mournful cello in track 5 to the explosive, disciplined percussion of track 6.
The way the final track resolves into a hauntingly beautiful melody that feels like both a funeral and a rebirth.
