Fridge "Happiness" [label: Temporary Residence]
Kraut post rocktronica. Some tracks are straight up guit-drum-bass post-rock instrumentals others are all electronic manipulations. Interesting, intellectual and musical, in a diversity of styles. -nari
1. hazy drone, maracas, wandering trombone, abstract; last 1:30 goes minimal
2. cool, chill, boards of canada; bass loop and latin shakers on the bottom layer; pretty hodgepodge of clinks and clacks and found sounds on the top layer
3. lovely flurry of bells & chimes
4. mellow, free-form track with independent lines criss crossing: electric guit, skittery drums; abstract
5. rock; nostalgic looped melody, strummed guit, effervescent drums; "Happiness"; closes with 1 minute of ringing bell
6. cute bass drum-heavy beat-happy thing
7. Fontanelle-like meandering jam w/a pretty outro
8. pretty chirp-like melody & hand drum, with nice flourishes of acoustic guitar. delightful.
9. slow heavy rock beat; twinkling electric guit, piano, & distant voices;
hopeful melody
