Lo-fi indie pop from late 2002. Reminisce of some Postal Service stuff. Fuzzy electronica sound, but melodic. Usually slow/mid tempo, lush electronic instrumentation. Tracks 6 and 8 are deviating from the electronica with more traditional instrumentation.

Random(?) fact: the font on the cover is taken from the first Spyro Jyra LP.
I liked 2, 7, 8. FCC: 11 (“Shit”).

More info about some of the tracks:
1. Nothing to do with Elvis.
2. Breakbeats, electronica, lush sound bed. mid/slow tempo.
3. Mid tempo, long instrumental at the end.
6. Slightly more traditional instrumentation, slow/mid tempo.
7. More upbeat at parts. Reminds me of the Postal Service “Don't wake me”.
8. Acoustic guitar, countryish style.
11. FCC
