Cipher

Alternative Tentacles artists who bring to mind Nick Cave, Ennio Morricone spaghetti western, with dramatic, thematic, conceptual almost, folk based almost traditional feeling of a religious revival. A definite darkness about it, and a hipster element. Vocals are centered, in fact many songs are basically a cappela. But much of it is dense, if no rockin or circus like. Great stuff (Jello is seldom off the mark).

1) a capella, male, dark gospel feel
2) upbeat, bouncy, builds and gets rockin toward end
3) folkie feel but the dark full band feel appears, stops and shifts midway, dramatic
4) driving and spy feel, slight spaghetti western tone
5) another a capela gospel, with some slight accompaniment
6) upbeat driving lotsa fun
7) somber walzing dark feel, about depression and drink, ends slow
8) upbeat hillbilly feel
9) upbeat driving almost rockin
10) another gospel singalong, the instrumentation a bit denser this time, banjo, percussion
11)
12) dark full swing, mean
13) jesus theme, country swing feel
14) banjo centered a cappela
15) upbeat train chugging head nodding intensity
