D.I.Y. frail art-pop. Vox, clarinet, old piano, synth, drum machine, chimes, and trash can percussion. Fragile, whimsical, and slightly out-of-tune feeling throughout. Voice is high pitched, effeminate and slightly annoying; it is mic-ed so you can hear every consonant. Mostly midtempo to slow. Think Daniel Johnston in its DIYness and personal fantastical storytelling. Sometimes I feel the "clever & cute" ideas are there, but the musical instinct isn't. Still has some moments though. FCC clean. Picks 4,12,5,7,2,8,2nd half of 13,10

unnerving clarinets wail in background. second half is plodding banging on trash can beat with low clarinet.
