Reviewed 2007-06-19
Noisy, minimal, psych rock from Portland. Songs alternate between dreamy and hypnotic with sparse spacey vocals and IDM-style beats to harsh and noisy. Some really cool samples. Recommended nighttime listening. Similar to: Brian Eno, Four Tet, Radiohead (Kid A)

Track picks: 1,3,4,9,12 *** FCC Clean ***

**1. 15s noise @ intro, cool oriental beats+guitars, female vocs
2. repetitive drumbeat, spacey vocals, ominous keyboards
**3. downbeat, slow intro, dancy IDM beat enters @ +20s
**4. downtempo, chilled, cricket sample, mellow guitar
5. uptempo drumbeat, Nick Cave style vocals, pretty groovy
6. midtempo, slow 20s outro, dancey beat, spacey vocals
7. dreamily slow, keyboard+accordion, guitar later
8. guitar enters @ +10s, megaphone vocals, jerky drumbeat
**9. midtempo, like Eno, great beat+sparse spacey vocals
10. slow intro, accordion, industrial beat, noisy @ the end
11. cool industrial intro beat, distorted guitar, solo @ outro
**12. very chilled, downtempo, IDM-style beat, beautiful!
