Electro, M vocals, a little alt for the dance floor- more for listening. I like the dirty digital synth. Plenty of interesting sounds and structures. Jungle, breakbeat, clash & new wave sensibilities.
+1.echoey percussive synth notes meander over alien percussion. Ah, if only the whole song were like the intro. Disconnected vocals take over and it becomes less avant-garde. Still it’s interesting, nice textures.
2.spacey pop with vocals doing the ping-pong stereo thing- panning left to right- eventually meeting in middle. Mid-tempo, plodding though speeds up and sounds like noisy j-pop by end.
3.Slow fuzzy start, then synths that sound like steel drums, shambling beat
4.Standard beat, hike through a jungle, instrumental
+5.Fine happy electropop with harmonized vocals
6.slow”handclaps” wispy treated vocals, undanceable beat, IDM?
+7.Nicely cynical lyrics about packaged entertainment. Odd rhythm changes
8.Quiet intro.then moves at a good clip. Instrumental like speed-skating.
9.Quiet intro w/”aaahs”. Lyrics sung-whispered. Mellow, thoughtful, then rather strident and military. Less jarring.then other tracks
10.Gentle digital noise and close-miced, naturalistic vocals. Very little beats. Turns dramatic, loud/quiet/loud.
