Fun orchestral indie-pop. Almost sounds like a musical or soundtrack at times; just yer basic funky pop at other times. For fans of Final Fantasy (the band, not the video game…), Sondre Lerche, Olivia Tremor Control, Sufjan Stevens. Funky, interesting record- much more sophisticated than most “indie pop”. Give it a spin! No FCCs. Recommended tracks: 3, 6, 7, 8.
1. Chaotic strings, lots of cymbal. Dramatic. [3:21]
2. Poppy and upbeat, with a fun orchestral arrangement. [3:43]
3. Swirling and moody track with a great climax and dramatic finish. [3:57]
4. Pretty straightforward pop song; Sondre Lerche-esque. [2:35]
5. Instrumentation reminds me of Sufjan. Bright, fun song. [3:06]
6. Begins as a sweet ballad- nice instrumental bridge leads to greater orchestral chaos. [3:54]
7. Bouncing pop song with vocal harmonies. Playful. [3:47]
8. Nice female vox, pensive and melodic piano ballad. [3:21]
9. Theatrical, semi-dark tune. Definitely has a musical feel. Too long. [4:32]
10. Dreamy ballad. Epic and dark, Beatle-esque bridge/end. Definitely worth it if you have the time/patience! [5:54]
11. Choral vocals (à la Tilly and the Wall)… a cheerful pop anthem. [2:36]
