Kinda weird mellow slacker rock from Portland. A bit repetitive. If you like Pavement, The Unicorns, Horse Jumper Of Love, Guided By Voices. FCC: 14. Recommended Tracks: 1, 3, 7, 12 *1. Not So Infinite Life of Weird (2:30) sounds like a gritty indie psych rock take on the clockwork orange theme 2. Crooks Go in the Ground (2:04) chill late 90s slacker rock **3. New Mess (2:07) mellow garage rock, very early 00s 4. Jumper (1:44) acoustic guitar, light cymbals throughout, melancholic, straining vocals 5. Claw (2:56) upbeat lo-fi indie garage, fun weird/experimental outro 6. That Strange Pull (1:04) light cymbals, mellow guitars **7. Rocks on the Ramp (4:19) catchy drums with a repetitive mellow guitar riff, light psych effects sly their way in 8. Star Hinged Trap (2:16) lo-fi indie rock transitions to include some twangy psych effects 9. Caroline Stays / The AI Snatch (2:24) some light experimental psych paired with an acoustic guitar jam 10. Why Am I Missing (2:06) starts off fast-paced with a very sort of stripped electric guitar, but changes up to have a nice outro 11. The Echo Creek (2:40) rhythmic guitar almost sounds a bit like a keyboard, cymbals, distorted outro **12. Does It Go Backwards (2:21) warm acoustic guitar, light cymbals, pretty slide guitar outro 13. Better Get Gifted (2:11) animated acoustic hippie indie rock 14. Skit 8 (2:22) FCC: "A**" at 2:02 warm country riff, mellows out midway | ||
