Playful little tunes and grooves – “thrift store rock sound collages” - constructed by Jared Blum, a.k.a. Blanketship. This stuff is all really good and all over the place. FCC track 3. Try all tracks - very recommended!
1) * Reworked opener from TV pilot – horns, nondescript lyrics, sparkly blips
2) Religious themed. Eerie whistle & organ over swirly electronics
3) FCCs. Dark, heavy. Slowed Italian suspense theme with TV host Pat O’Brien on voice mails.
4) * Funky groove with interesting percussive breakdown ~1min in.
5) Drums with samples thrown on top – kitchen sink.
6) * Slowed down vinyl, bleepy moog and a Russian voice
7) * Organs, drums, guitars. Some drone, some vocals, dash of cartoon.
8) Spaced-out slow strings, some Vietnamese bells.
9) First half if dark, harsh & noisy –then flips to reworked movie trailers
10) * This one’s got good rhythm. Sped up 70s guitar keeps it cohesive.
11) Light, kitschy folk feel – unintelligible vocals, chirpy whistles
12) Funky, percussive. Crazy vocal samples
13) Female chorale vocals over clipped, sped up drums
14) * Super catchy – Full sound, 70s easy listening plus electronics.
15) It’s goofy. Slowed down patches, guitar noodling.
16) Rain and sampled & screwed vocals.
17) Instructional vocals with piano - plus breaking glass
