Literate Rock/Pop, LA-style. Fans of White Stripes, try this! Dramatic music with a dominant guitar and male lead singer (with woman vox in background). A good combination of Californian Rock-Pop and poetry. Music by Karen Swerdlow, lyrics by Terry Swerdlow, wife and husband. Very uniform in quality of songs. All tracks are worth playing, especially asterisked ones.
1. Guitars and energetic male vox.
*2. Cool, slightly trippy Americana.
**3. Darker. More complex. (FCC, shit)
**4. Begins slow with acoustic guitar and piano. The chorus is epic.
**5. Crazier mid-tempo song, a la White Stripes.
*6. A dark ballad.
7. Basic Rock, maybe some Doors influences.
*8. A furious chant “I feel well, I feel calm”, with an appropriate ending.
*9. Basic Americana Rock’n’Roll.
**10. Slow, moody, with Rockabilly touches.
*11. Layered gentle guitars and some strings evolve to a strong fast chorus.
