Reviewed 2007-08-21
Gypsy goth. Synths made to sound like organ, rhythm guitar, somewhat distorted vocals (mostly male), ukulele? 5-piece band from San Diego.

+1.Big circus organ in minor key, then it’s a pop song, then it’s circus-goth again. Fun and confident.
2.Cheezy Kurt Weill-ish boppy music.
3.3/4 time intro but 4/4 time song, fem vocals. Dramatic.
4.The singer/songwriter song, made to sound like recorded thru telephone
5.Formulaic feel-good pop (actually would be good in a set of 80’s synthpop)
+6.Fun gypsy-goth, scat singing
7.Goth anthem. (Subtly ripping off DCD “Circumradiant Dawn”?)
+8.Quieter, pretty good sound, like the feeling-down feel of it.
+9.classic rock done their style? Cognative dissonance!
+10.Weird, alternates beach-boysie & oompa can-can happy.
