Tight rock band plus keyboards. Range of sounds, tempos. Overall it’s fun and a bit cynical. They've been at it for ages, starting in the mid-70's punk scene and never falling apart through the decades & evolving creations.
+1.midtempo bassy rock. Organ makes an appearance halfway through, then "aaah" vocals- pretty much an instrumental. Keeps rocking
+2. Mystic synth intro with waves, cheesy! It’s a trick though, goes to peppy rock with memorable title lyric. Ends that way again, emo.
3.Midtempo, a hint of Southern swagger. Buzzy synth blends well.
++4. punk rock with a hint of “math/prog” they drop a couple beats here and there.
5. Minor key jauntiness with organ, reminiscent of some Cramps
++6.Mid-slow. Acoustic bass intro, brushed traps, beat vocal delivery. Café sway.
+7. Mid-fast. Party, I could dance to this. Half-yelled vox
8.Jangly guitar, 80's synth intro, happy 80's sound
++9. Spanish tango rock, fuzzy, buzzy, stately. Something reminds me of "White Rabbit". Outtro is just synth-wash & vocal.
10.Happy, peppy even if it seems to be about a haunted house
