Instr. electric guitar duo. Playful, upbeat, mathy-lite, arty post-rock. A bit like recent Deerhoof's more guitary moments actually. The high-pitched, delicate guitar attack reminds me of some sort of African world music. FCC clean. Picks 5,1,3,4,11

*1-3:03) Sunny, with a couple bursts of distortion.
2-1:43) Delicate.
*3-3:12) Background, driving, rock chords. Strummy and slightly loud.
*4-1:59) Just delicate dual picking until quick build to distorted full chord at end.
**5-2:05) Fast strumming with touch of distortion. More intense and noisy. Ends in cacophony.
6-1:30) Stop-start figures. Shouting?!?! -:25, gentle harmonic tones till end.
7-2:46) Easy, delicate interwoven lines. Solo at -:36. Ends on quick fade.
8-2:50) Fast, busy strumming. Lots of changes.
9-2:55) Muted screams at end.
10-3:17) Quiet beginning goes to fast dual strumming which gets mildly angular.
*11-2:41) Bouncy and upbeat. Fast and warm. Ends on held chord. Ends on held chord with distortion.
12-3:20) Warm jangly chords. Slowly gets more intense. -:40 there are some muted screams and small amounts of distortion, ending on held chord.
