|
Psych pop; faster; dreamy, noisy touches and 80s influence (low, echoed vox) pervade. Organy, dense early on, and things slow down gradually/inconsistently as the album moves in and out of a psych-folk-rock vein. No FCCs detected. RIYL: Royal Baths, Moon Duo, Galaxie 500, VU *1 (4:13) Big psych stomping, jangling rhythmic gutiar, extra detached vox *2 (3:46) Nice ringing, jangly hooks; stony, reverbed, midtempo plod, strings **3 (2:35) Upbeat dark 60s perfection, Velvety licks, plinking pianos, fuzzy plodding bassy beat 4 (2:36) A little quieter, longing vox reminiscent of early Okkervil 5 (3:37) Relaxed summer sunset feel, folky, psychy Eastern strings 6 (2:49) Dreamy, wondering feel. Pleasant music, dark vox 7 (3:52) Weird day at the beach; halfway through, goes circusy then into quiet noise 8 (3:03) Quiet intro, plodding drum beat, slurred gothic-folky vox *9 (2:48) Dark, slow, croony; JAMC's Darklands goes back in time 18 years 10 (4:19) Slowest of them all, strings bounce around the slow beat and acoustic guitars. 23 sec fade out outro | ||
