Beautifully layered songs with indecipherable lyrics. Almost all of the compositions are from electronics and samples, however “conventional” instruments do come up. Most of the vocals have a hip hopish feel. I love what each member (why?, doseone and odd nosdam) do on their own, and when they bring their talents together the result is incredibly rich. The music is natural w/o a contrived feeling. The individual songs are varied but not disjointed. Recommended. All tracks are good, but my favorite tracks are: 5, 6, 9

1) ** FCC **mesmorizing synths, repetitive vocals.
2) mellow ethereal, crunchy beat, buzzing, samples.
3) heat beat, flinting sounds, monk-like singing.
4) light squeeking music w/ nice alternating vocals.
(((5))) anti-gun song. I really like the vocals toward the end… sounds like someone… (can’t put my finger on it)
((6)) pretty combinations, nice vocals describing scenes.
7) pop song w/ acoustic and electronic elements.
8) droning synths, vocals and spitting beats.
((9)) pop goes spacey w/ hip hop parts.
10) ** FCC ** mellow, droning track for 5:35 min. Then a hidden track at 17:45 **warning: hidden track is chock full of FCC’s**
