Indie rock. Interesting use of instruments atypical of the genre, particularly the glockenspiel and autoharp. Standout tracks include 2, 5, 9 but any are good to play. FCC CLEAN. 1) Suit of Lights (4:30): Mid-tempo indie rock. Song sounds a little reminiscent of The Clash. **2) Many Hands (3:14): fast-paced rock with cool use of glockenspiel 3) Cut the Right Wire (4:48): slow acoustic tune. Joined by viola and other percussion in the chorus. 4) They Live By Night (3:48): uptempo indie rock **5) Coat of Arms (7:36): Galloping drumbeat alongside a slow guitar lick and slow vocals. 6) Secret Policemen (1:44): Fast tempo, lots of distorted guitar 7) A Charge in the Batteries (4:38): Starts with 30 seconds of airy whistling/high pitch noises, so consider starting at 0:30. Slow and brooding indie, vocals are Bowie-esque. 8) Number Six (5:13): Slower song, airy feel, glockenspiel solo at around 3 minutes that turns into distorted guitar, which exerts itself throughout the rest of the verses. Actual song ends around 4:50 and then becomes ambient noise. **9) Chimes (4:00): Straightforward indie rock. Ironically, no chimes. There is some autoharp though, which is pretty cool. 10) Plaza De George Orwell (4:24): First 43 seconds are ambient noises overlaid by string instruments. Then turns into a slow instrumental that showcases the band’s wide instrumental variety. Returns to the ambient noise at 4:00, so consider ending the track there. | ||
