The second album from Odetta Hartman, a New York-based future folk/cowboy soul artist. Both old-school and somewhat futuristic and experimental, this is an awesome record with intriguing instrumentation and engaging vocals. 12 is the most intriguing but also sounds quite violent with *a lot of gunshot noises*

Be sure to read the song description if you want to play something because some songs will cut with 30+ seconds left with only silence/occasional random noises afterwards. 

No FCCs detected (12 sounds quite violent, see note)
Favorites: 2, 3, 12

1. (0:47) **Old Rockhounds — Sound production makes it seem like you’re hearing a record play of this song, achieving a nice effect
2. (2:14) ***Cowboy Song — Whimsical, cuts off with ~7 seconds of silence
3. (2:44) ***You You —  Sweet, earnest love song, cuts off with ~5 seconds of silence
4. (3:51) *(**recommend cut off at 3:17) Widow’s Peak — Forboding, kind of sad, really interesting distortion on vocals, great instrumentation throughout, turns kind of dissonant/chaotic in the last minute, then just has sounds of everyday life/shuffling around for the last ~35 seconds
5. (2:41) Sweet Teeth — Tantalizing in the first half, great beat in the second half
6. (0:32) Auto — Strums of some kind of instrument with some humming
7. (1:38) ** Honey — Toned down Adele, awesome banjo, last 10 seconds is silence
8. (0:59)** Smoke Break — A more hip version of that elevator music you hear when you’re told to wait in line on the phone, last 10 seconds is silence
9. (2:49) **The Ocean — Laid back, with sounds of water/ocean, soft, charming vocals, drastic mood shift in the last 45 seconds to forboding and reflective, cuts off with 6 seconds of silence
10. (1:54) ** Spit — Awesome beat and sound effects in last half, wispy vocals and charming banjo, cuts off with ~10 seconds of silence 
11. (0:37) Freedom — Abstract noise
12. (3:17) ***(Many sounds of gunshots; recommend cut off at 2:52) Misery — Angsty, made even angstier by a great banjo and gunshot noises/sirens,  lyrics allude to murder, great vocals, last 25 seconds is intermittent voices/mostly silence
13. (1:10) Dettifoss — Great strings, beat, all instrumentation, cuts off with ~10 seconds of silence 
14. (5:03) Carbon Copy (**recommend cut off at 2:50) — 1st 15 seconds mostly silence/chirpy noises, kind of melancholy, ***silence*** starting from ~2:50 with really brief bird noises 
15. (2:22) (Still Alive) — Deep, distorted, disturbing a cappella voice slowly singing lyrics from 1st song on album
