Noisy, spacy rock, with buzzing and distortions. (remind me of Gay Dad, a bit.) Vaguely funky space groove makes forays into some crazy retro territory. Quirky! Wide variety of sounds, tempos, all with a slightly uneasy space rock tinge.

1. funky, prowly midtempo (FCC: "Fuck")
2. driving bass, distorted vocals, noisy (FCC: "Motherfucker" (faint))
*3. * melodic, laid back, guitar plucking, amost surfy
4. rock instrumental for 2 min, then vox
*5. * soft, laid back, accordions, café oom-pah-pah
*6. * funky, quirky, with 80s drum machine—retro new wave?
*7. * slow, acoustic guitar, fluty squeaks n’ out-of-tuneness
8. funky midtempo, predatory, breathy vox (FCC! "Fuck")
9. uptempo rock, petulant
10. spacy, brash, driven
*11. *waily, glammy strut—surprise meter changes
*12. *slow, tense strings, dissonant, lo-fi vocals, echoey
