Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2002-08-25
Basic rock, guit/drum duo with overdubs. Straight rock beats in places but a lot of ¾ waltzy heavy folk-rock things with acoustic guit and desperate feel. Sensitive guys from Ohio. Undeniably “americana” “roots rock”. The latest rage.

1) starts with answering machine (?) sample then goes into triplet slow-mid march with melodicj vocs
2) midpaced 4/4 rock, poppy
3) tom tom beat simple brief
4) upbeat minor sensitive feel
5) low fi distorto vocs over head bangy rock beat
6) folky hillbilly triplet flavor w/ banjo and acoustic guit, super brief instrumental
7) ¾ instrospective folky turns epic and heavy w/ distortion
8) slightly twangy heavy waltz
9) brief noise guit backwards stuff
10) upbeat pop rock, needs at least a verse, goes nowhere
11) simple, two guitars, ballad with awfully sweet lyric hook
12) dark w/ drug metaphors, swingy with dynamics
13) super brief guitar interlude
14) slow sad folky
