lo-fi rock in a blues / surf / western style. Mostly loose and messy (in a good way), with a bit of Elephant 6 / Olivia Tremor Control style craziness thrown in. Plenty of reverb on the vocals, twangy surf sound on the guitars, and spooky sounding organ that gives some tracks a menacing quality. Some tracks reminiscent of a messy Calexico, others have a tinge of freak-folk sound. Lots of the tracks bleed together, so check out the endings before you play. FCC ON TRACK 22 otherwise, clean as far as I can tell…most of the vocals are too reverbed out to understand 1) Opens with horror movie sample. Bluesy guitar, and reverbed-out vocals, bleeds into next track 2) Messy blues with jangling guitars and spooky sounding organ, plenty of guitar solos, bleeds into next track (instrumental) 3) 30 sec messy surf rock interlude. 4) 1 Minute track – nice, simple guitar, far away vocals 5) Opens with spooky reverb sounds, then twangy surf/blues sound with dark organs, kind of bleeds into the next track 6) 33 sec interlude of menacing reverbed guitars 7) Nice bouncy melodic track – kind of has a Strokes feel to it. 8) Bluesy guitar with dreamy lo-fi vocals in background, nice interplay between guitar and vocal melodies. bleeds into next **9) Bluesy sound, twangy guitar, and pounded piano with some vocal harmonizations 10) 52 sec interlude – cool voodoo sounds **11) Lots of spacey sound effects, twangy guitar, Western-Sci-fi sound…reminds me of a looser version Calexico. 12) Nice and messy low-fi blues, turns into more of a surf rock song half way through **13) Opens with ‘40s news real style music sample, then bouncy rhythm, clavichord and twangy guitar with relatively clean vocals. 14) Mostly Instrumental… dark western style sound effects, nice guitars, strange vocals towards the end. 15) Sounds like a 50s style commercial, cool vocal harmonizations?16) Dark repeating picked guitars, way reverbed out vocals, changes towards the end. 17) Very lo-fi Freak-Folk sound, bongo with acoustic guitar, and vocals 18) 38 Sec Interlude – Surf Rocky guitars 19) Another really lo-fi Freak Folky track blues chant **20) Opens with breaking glass sound effects, then twangy guitars, crashing drums, reverbed-vocals, nice bridge 21) Clean sound with acoustic guitar, bongo, tambourine, and vocals 22) ### FCC ###...shoot you in the fucking head 23) Stripped down blues with just acoustic guitar, vocals, and shaker 24) 18 Minute WEIRD experimental track - freak-folk sound, lots of strange looping /chanted vocals and free-form almost jazzy guitars, some bongos, and other strange sounds 25) Instrumental track with Quiet surf ballad sound | ||
