How to describe this?: Psychedelic meets low fi noise, like Pussy Galore, Swell Maps and Jesus and Mary Chain locked in a trash can and heaved down Haight street, clanking and bouncing and crushing hippies, bongs and plastic flowers all the way. Beautiful in a dreamy psyche sense, lovely in a Neutral Milk Hotel pop sense, great use of noise, subdued male vocals, and rhythms. Ambient noise tracks too. Check it out.

1) low fi with an echoey 60’s flare, upbeat if brief
2) pounding beat, urgent, with lovely noises and sounds toward end
3) ambient noise, drone
4) 60’s pop feel with little bells and jangly guitars, like early Stones on Acid, er, more Acid
5) instrumental, guitar explorations with slow plod beat, like Fripp on as much Acid as the Stones
6) brief upbeat acoustic pop ditty, 60’s flare again
7) more of an accessible noise-pop feel, slightly disjunct mathy beat, awesome
8) simple stripped down pop like Swell Maps but without the punk urgency at first but shifts into a nice Too Pure/Th’ Faith Healers ethic midway
9) starts low fi, speeds up as it goes along to a manic crazy poundingness
10) basic instrumental noise rock bashout, starts sparse and ends that way too
