Airy vocal, folky vibe. Catchy, pleasant stuff with lyrics of sadness and cynicism -- gotta love that combination. Many songs are based on one guitar figure, repeated endlessly, with vocals atop.
Very light, simple guitar strumming. Voice is a lot like Sarah Harmer, but with less kick. More glossy and conventional than Kimye Dawson, but not pretentious and certainly not overproduced. Nice stuff; try any track.
Tempos mostly upbeat. Subtle FCC on track 9.
1- Light, gentle, mid/fast.
2- Mid/fast easy strum, treated vocals.
3- Quiet, pretty 6/8 song,
4- Midtempo, upbeat (the music, not the lyrics)
5- Mid/fast
6- Lazy happy springtime feel, filtered vocal
7- Country air, mid/fast
8- Adds plucked violin and mandolin(?) for exotic sweeping effect
9- *FCC* during intro (spoken "fuck it"). Subdued feel; weird male chorus wells up late in the song.
10- Slowish, with flute. Playful hippie feel.
11- Slow, catchy
12- Dreamy, peaceful, midtempo
