Vocal samples made into music. The weird thing is, the lyric sheet is accurate! This is good & whack.
+1.cut up lady, after 40 seconds we get a beat
2.guys. thump beat not dancy
+3.beatless but too distracting to be ambient. Bassy, fem vox
+4.quiet intro, fem vox shimmer, vowelly (no plosives)
5.yelling and moaning, human beatbox, lyrics show curses but they’re indescernable
+6.catchy matmossy layering of vocal grains
7.drawn out ums & ahs, like slow-motion takeoff
8.kid’s music!
+9.slick Ooh, ah, beat after 1 min
10.Cough rock!
11.long, vocal confusion, 2nd half is cool ambient
