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 | ||
