Indie pop, upbeat and happy. Good, bright stuff with lots of airy, pretty, rock-out tracks; faster songs sometimes carry some tones of old '50s rock. Other songs have a more Dylan-electric-folk feel, with folky strumming and/or harmonica. Shaky unpolished male vocals that sound quite good. FCC clean although some listeners will object to "goddamn."
1- Bright airy strumming
2- Fast straight rock. (Weird intro.)
3- Good fast beat, jangly.
4- Mid/fast, rolling. Electric folk?
5- Small, mid/fast love song *FCC* ("goddamn")
6- Fast instrumental, flitting melody.
7- Mid/fast
8- Mid/fast, a folky hippie rock vibe
9- Ooo, airy chorus after snappy verses. Upbeat break-up song.
10- Gentle acoustic, mid/fast pace
11- Mid/fast chugging beat
12- Whoa, very '70s action-flick sound. Echo chamber!
13- Light, fast-thumping beat, quite poppy. Semi-*FCC* ("god damn")
14- Modern sounds over old-world accordion. Slowish.
15- Folky slowness
16- Screwy calliope, howling "oooh" vocals (instrumental)
17- Simple tune with wild/fast guitars almost out of control
18- Minor key w/piano. Nicely big, dramatic sound
19- Pleasant country/folk
20- Midtempo. A touch of sunset: lap steel guitar & harmonica
21- Peppy, fast
22- Folky, wistful. Fairly fast.
