Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2007-10-03
Chamber pop. Strings, simple arrangements, melodic male/female vocals. Simple percussion, no crash cymbals, quiet. Almost cute and toy-like. Folk instruments like accordian are present too. Fans of WACO, chamber pop. Songs blend together.

1) mechanical boing boing feel
2) simple beat, synth, vocals appear
3) regal feel in the strings, slightly waltzy
4) simple beat again, very melodic
5) pensive urgency
6) simple cymbal strike beat, fem vocs + string melodies
7) synths appear, dominate, interesting mix of looped strings w/ synths, instrumental intro to next track
8) another simple song
9) more drama w/ bell, strings, interesting string bowings
10) accordian w/ near a capela fem vocs to start, percussion comes in as drum kit, almost “rockin”
11) (hidden track) slow somber tone, instrumental, ends w/ 5:00 remaining then hidden track, ~30 seconds later, experimental, noisey, cool
