Isaac Brock (of Modest Mouse) side project, in which he indulges his country and acoustic impusles but also tosses in plenty of "urban" touches (lyrics chanted into a megaphone, e.g. 2, 8). Overall slow stuff but it's still got some rockers and quite a few biting moments. Kind of Tom Waits-like in places (6, 10).
1- Uptempo pop, subdued feel
2- Slow, kinda urban? with chanted chorus, heavy beat
3- Solid midtempo, says "they rock" too many times
4- Sad, quiet
5- 30-second blip
6- Slow, clunky, almost like industrial country.
7- Acoustic riffing.
8- Bright and tough. Steady click-beat, filtered screaming spoken word, some wah-wah guitar.
9- Weird w/ falsetto vocs.
10- Dark, catchy march
11- *FCC* Country tune w/banjo and slide guitar
12- *FCC* sort of ("cum on the piano"). Good rocking number.
13- Hazy blur of guitars, nice.
