Elements of Beatles, Bauhaus, Daniel Ash, Love and Rockets, T Rex. Strummy jangle power pop with certain 60’s psyche flare but more along the lines of how T Rex and Bauhaus incorporated it than say straight Beatles or Paul Revere and the Raiders. Play with Popstrangers, Spiritualized, aforementioned artists.
1) (3:30) big power pop chords w/ simple upbeat beat
2) (3:27) 60’s Partridge Family bouncy organ song, but dark, not peppy
3) (4:01) pretty guitars and dreamy vocals and air about this, upbeat and smooth but builds intensity
4) (3:07) begins with acoustic guitar, has a very Bauhaus feel to it, somber dark psyche pop
5) (4:10) really nice midpaced slightly trippy, a Beatles/TRex flare appearing
6) (4:13) slow swingy
7) (3:12) simple, kind of new wave funky and fun, Tom Tom Club maybe
8) (3:12) okay now this one sounds like the Beatles
9) (3:48) bouncy pop, very 60’s pop
10) (3:49) slow and plodding, “heavy and steady” aptly titled
11) (2:06) strummy upbeat simple pop, slight twang
12) (3:43) jangle pop w/ some twangy guitar licks, bouncy Love and Rockets fun
