Big lounge with high candy F(sounding) vocals, doing a fun mix of covers, creatively skewering the sound. Some original tracks on here too, which are good and have the same light-playful-sad feel. RIYL Nouvelle Vague, Juilee Cruise. Unusual mix, there’s not much like this coming through the a-file.

1. sweet, sexy robotic singing
2. a famous Bond theme with meandering melody
3.mellow guitar loop and whispered vocals, music completely different from original
4.rock-loungs
5.3/4 time, end of the world time
6.Mellow & sad, music fairly different from original, more wistful and lyrical
7.punk done like early-60’s do-wop, then put thru lounge filter
8.60’s psych-pop sounding like 80’s goth… strangely circular, the styles this band chooses…
9.mid-slow, quiet
10.mid-fast instrumental
11.mid-fast toe-tapper
12.Lullabye fashioned out of a kid’s song that was originally hyper
