Rambling, organic electro-pop with a hearty nod towards more standard rock instrumentation and arrangements. Young sounding female vox set just imperfectly against a smooth, homemade wall of blips, strums, and synths. See also: Notwist, House of Wires, Cosmic Starfish.
FCC Clean. Picks: 3, 6, 7, (2, 5, 6, 8)
1. 5:29 Sparse 1:00 intro, then low/mid energy synth pop with nice dynamic build.
*2. 6:45 Low energy. Chill blips and relaxed beat. Catchy melody. False ending at 5:00 into jangly, scratchy synth outro.
**3. 3:21 Varied, with blippy intro and interludes, aggressive refrains, and sweet pop verses.
4. 6:24 Low/Mid energy atmospheric pop with wandering keys and bendy guitars. Transitions to synth orchestra and dancy interlude at 3:55
*5. 5:19 Upbeat, guitar-led pop rock. 1:10 outro.
**6. 2:44 Spoken word post-rock, with distorted vox and dense instrumentation.
**7. 5:49 Low energy, lush electro-pop rock with spoken samples and diverse/quirky interludes. 0:15 outro.
*8. 2:38 Sweet and fadey. Lazy cinematic pop. 0:18 outro.
9. 5:09 Low energy, thick pop.
10. 1:02 Brief, classical sounding closer.
