Genre: Indie Rock
The boy/girl harmonies of Ryff and Lee are authentic and dreamy. Combined with the strong, guitar-driven indie-pop sound and catchy verb baselines, RACES consumes an unidentifiable space that melts energetic texture into the backdrop of psych-rock. Tracks such “Lies,” “Song Of Birds” and “The Knife” from this debut LP merge classic style and progressive tones to celebrate the bands ’70s and ’90s influences.

1. (1.26) - a short one-and-a-half-minute intro song
*2. (3.15) - you’d like a cup of morning coffee, sweet, meandering
3. (4.32) - melancholy, mid-tempo, relaxed man vocal
*4. (3.49) - slow-tempo, kinda dreamy vocal, lighthearted mood
5. (5.00) - slow-tempo, sad, lazy, bittersweet
6. (4.22) - slow-tempo, mellow, slightly melancholy, dreamy
7. (4.58) - subtle, yearning, sexy vocal, slow tempo and then a sudden burst into a faster pace.
8. (3.37) - mainly female vocal, slow-tempo, bittersweet, slightly melancholy
9. (4.48) - double vocal lines, delightful, mid-tempo, sweet melody
*10. (3.49) - delightful intro, mid-tempo, charming melody, repetitive lyrics
11. (1.31) - ambient, dreamy, suddenly stop at the end
