Red West
Reviewed 2004-11-20
Singer songwriter on the bizarre tip. Has a small band and a Finnish accent.

+1.upbeat rocker, goes for cognitive dissonance by singing about rocking out at a funeral party, it sounds like fun.
+2.upbeat, melodic, midtempo. Cool Finnish throat singing in the middle! The music for the verses is borrowed from some other song that I can’t quite place-Rolling Stones?
3.mid-slow
4.slow euro-hippy folk
+5.slow. cool abstract synth intro, weird growling vocal
6.mid-slow, go grab happiness (never will at that speed!)
+7. melodic fem voc, happy love/murder-attempt pop in the Lou Reed tradition
8.too hip
+9.FCC “FUCK” in chorus. Ironically precise declaration of party-time.
+10.slow spiritual- it mentions angel sex. (borrows from an AR Kane song)
11.silence. he owes Cage royalties.
12.slow. low expectations. Strummed acoustic guitar, organ. Gets louder.
