Rock-a-teens. Really sharp pop from Georgia. Flaming Lips, Bowie feel, w/varied instruments but mostly guitar based w/nice piano, synth washes, perfectly blended. Excellent lyrics, male vocals, desperate, slightly off-key but not annoying (like so many vocalists of this type). All good. 1) mid-uptempo, epic sounding 2) uptempo, great lyric hook, slightly droning, fem backups 3) slower ballady piano heavy, ¾ minor 4) ¾ waltzy swingy 5) upbeat pop w/partridge family bouncy beat 6) ¾ midtempo, hooky epic chorus 7) slow and quieter w/acoustic guit, vibes, ¾ drums, fem vocals join 8) another triplet beat, fuzzy and driving, slow-midtempo 9) echoey guit, similar to rest 10) midtempo rock, melodic, nice break/bridge where things fall out 11) mid-uptempo rock, dense production 12) midtempo rock beat w/breaks 13) uptempo melody driven beat w/breaks, builds and falls 14) slow-midtempo epic rock 15) midtempo ¾, another epic feeling chorus 16) swingy uptempo w/burlesque The Fall feel 17) nice vibrato and echo, slow-mid ¾, great lyrics | ||
