Folk pop/psych rock from old LPs and 7"s, late 60’s in style and production – recordings are generally lo-fi
+1.Short upbeat pop-folk “walk in the woods with me”
2.Minor key “you gotta stop running around”
+3.lilting 3/4 time, minor key “never been to church, school, had money”
+4.cool percussion, borrowing latin instruments, ¾ time, many voices
5.cool pop
6.sad. weird chord progression in verse.
+7.happy mid-slow brit pop
+8.simple mid-slow, harmonica in bridge. “look at me, tell me what you see, my body so warm”
+9.drug-depressed “all across the now-blue-skyyyyy”
10.formulaic, aspires to bubble-gum pop (proto bubblegum?)
+11.Strong Grace-Slick-like F vocals unfortunately get buried under group harmonies. Some psyche elements
+12.Tambourines, shambling vocals, terrible production, bitter lyrics
+13.Good M group harmonies “Let me tell you about my scene”, minor key upbeat, peacenik
14. ¾ time, mid-fast, harmonica flourishes. Sounds a bit like early beatles, production-wise
+15.Plaintive, mid-fast, peppy guitar solo
16.Happy love song
17.ode to a woman different from the others, in a good way
18.gritty vocal a little reminiscent of Bob Dylan, with peppy guitar and organ rock
+19.vaguely Byrds-like, happy peace
+20. ¾ time, F+M vocal, mid-slow psyche
