Slow, delicate indie rock. Female vocals, hushed dynamics; sounds like it was recorded in a church. Like a listenable dose of Low -- all tracks are short 1-3 minutes. I starred all the playable ones and triple starred my favs. - nari 1. (3:09) *lullaby in 3* 2. (1:37) very short amble; background fuzz and hopeful melody 3. (2:24) big drums, rock beat 4. (0:52) short, instrumental "glue" track 5. (2:44) new wave-y synths, simple theme 6. (2:09) * slow & easy beat, bright & carefree * 7. (1:22) ** crackle and eerie guitars; play with track 8 ** 8. (1:12) ** precious. delicate little strums and whispered vocals ** 9. (2:38) ** rock beat, airy light vocals & synth, pretty ** 10. (3:52) *** simple and bleak; fades into posty brushes of winter !*** 11. (2:53) more ubbeat, cheery 12. (3:51) *** low hum, moody vocals, loungey brushed drums *** 13. (1:40) ** very dark & moody, cello vibes & echoes; all instrumental; cool ** 14. (2:35) * sooo cold and bitter, stripped down, "drained & whipped" vocals * 15. (0:42) short sample loop 16. (1:10) trancelike chant, positive 17. (2:18) little voice in a big echo chamber 18. (1:13) fast swinging acoustic ballad 19. (1:07) simple, marchlike 20. (1:43) this is unbearable to listen to 21. (2:17) slow foot-tappin rock beat 22. (2:07) a loping little western style track 23. (1:02) angsty acoustic; recorded underwater | ||
