Sometimes dark art/ indie pop with some sampled elements, a b-sides and rarities collection. Has some repetitive/ slightly minimalist elements sometimes. Pinback really does have their own sound. Usually smooth/ subdued vocals over sometimes dark elements. Some songs make heavy use of the bass guitar; others are based around a piano. Songs are often based around a rhythmic groove of sorts. This is a highly listenable collection of songs.

My picks: 2, 3
1. slow, but this is no ballad. intertwined bass and guitars. smooth (not like smooth jazz) vocals with harmonies
2. piano-based, in ¾. Really nice chorus.
3. medium tempo. bass-based. Drum machine percussion.
4. med-slow. bass-based. intermittent drums.
5. really slow. guitars and bass. Organ later.
6. medium tempo. piano-based with a bit of a groove.
7. med-fast. Starts drums then intertwined bass and guitars.
8. medium-tempo. guitar and bass groove with drums.
9. slow. bass-based groove with guitar and electric piano on top
10. full band version of #6
11. full band version of #1
