No wave? Art rock? Like DNA meets Matching Mole and Numbers. Dissonant abstract guitars, buzzy analog synths, noise, drums that refuse to keep a steady beat. All instrumental (almost). Whatever it is I think its cool as shit. Call me when you figure out how to label this. Many tracks, all very brief. Local band on top of it all. Great stuff.

1) disjunct, slow
2) almost melodic, guit led but elecro feel in synth
3) casio noodlings, brief
4) songlike, dissonant, messed up beat, nowave
5) brief noodle
6) abstract, halting, huh?
7) sparse guit and blips and bloops
8) sparse
9) looping noise, brief
10) grows ultra noisy briefly, cool
11) mellow sparse
12) noise jam
13) minimal chords, progression
14) keyboard noodle
15) marching upbeat
16) slow jazz guitar tone, like Soft Machine
17) da da a capela
18-20) way brief
21) distorto epic guit chords turn noise fest
22) simple melody with “lyrics”
