Jazzy post-rock. Well played guits/bass/keys/drums, all instrumental. Instead of noodling over one off-time theme over and over again these guys actually include a lot of great textures and changes and parts, with true talent. Complex timings and chording are a part of the music instead of its sole focus. Great stuff, tasteful, interesting.

1) very jazzy feel, upbeat funky drums
2) chill, w/ electonic flare
3) meditative slow, slightly discordant and swingy jazz-post-funk
4) funky upbeat drums
5) excellent weird voiceover about Y2K, McDonalds, some restrained FCCs (“shit”), use judgement, over funky stripped down noodling
6) mellow jam gets upbeat later
7) pretty guit work, fem backgrnd vocs a la Mary Hanson/Stereolab, upbeat, bassy
8) slower, swingy straight 4/4
9) funky, electro overtones
10) brief looped riff intro, then jazz guit solo instrumental, pretty, mellow, looping sampler-delay
11) funky upbeat tone w/ congas, rhythm heavy
12) slightly blippy and sparse
13) mellow w/ electrobeat and feel
14) Mary Hanson’esque fem vocs return, post rock’isms, cool elect guit
