Slower pop/twangy songs with some synths. Most tracks are on the sad side but don’t let that keep you away. Easy to listen to and easy to enjoy.
1) warbling sounds with piano intro
2) polished pop sound with some twang
3) spacey synths with acoustic backing
4) slow and sad, harmonica
5) upbeat piano with backing ooh’s, slows down in the middle, adds strings.
6) bells, piano and vox
7) ballpark organ with soft acoustic guitar
8) light piano ditty with some slide guitar work
9) more energy, wispy pop
10) sad song with country slide and m+f vocals
