2. (3:04) Bouncy, dissonant, carnival synths
3. (2:12) Relaxed strummy guitars. Male vox. Short
4. (4:08) Mid/slow. Melodramatic breathy male vox. California Dreamin' catchy
*5. (7:51) Midtempo, lazy indistinct vocals, fuzzy, swirly keys, groovy guitar
*6. (5:06) Fuzz tubes, wah wah fuzz, strings?. More on the experimental side
7. (5:05) Cool understated synths, great mid beat
8. (5:39) Slowed down wailing, minimal. Crackly sample of monologue. Rain
*9. (4:25) La de da. Jangly sweet pop. La la la
10. (4:02) Urgent but muted. Male vox. RIYL Pinback
11. (3:18) Big pounding beat. Driving bass but chill
12. (5:17) Ambient synth swirls with a cool beat
