Some seriously beautiful lavish fucked up art experimental w/ pop, noise and gloom jazz sentiments. Lots of clangy metallic percussion, fuzzy effet and near jazz orchestral tones. Desperate male vocs. Lo-fi but slick at the same time. All excellent.
1) somewhat rhythmic, pots and pans feel, vocs distorted and psych
2) FCCs, excellent though
3) dissonant orchestration over clanky perc., dark vocs
4) jazzy drums, space fuzz, dreamy despite drum center, solo- ends early, careful
5) very quite intro, a pretty, sparse and mellow song overall
6) noisy fell but synth eleltreat takes center, Heaven 17 vs Throbbing Gristle
7) sparse noise, synth w/ vocs
8) almost pretty ballady “normal” song
9) cue- quiet intro, upbeat and pretty
10) slow sad w/ min electrobeat, fuzzy and loud feel though
