Ensemble of friends performing mostly acoustic weird indie-pop, folk, psych- listen in. This is so much fun. Real goofiness. Understated home production, clean "in the room with you" feel. In addition to the usual acoustic psych-folk combo I hear tuba, ukulele and moog. If you trust the spiral liner notes, this is a communal effort, emphasis on the commune. ++1.Psych folk mid-slow +2.mouthsounds, wordless vocals over a simple bassline (feel free to talk over first minute). Then song with real lyrics and great pop-music chorus. 3.unfortunate intro. inauspicious middle. troublesome end. +4.mid-fast and mid-quiet w/strings and strummed guitar. About being a bad neighbor, despite the song title. +5.Downer. Lyrcs in Dutch (I think) & English, and the music sounds like the Residents +6. fast and a little off-kilter ++7.Bluesy psych. Channeling Syd-era Floyd! (or Flight of the Conchords, if you're paying attention to the lyrics) +8."Normaler" pop (relatively speaking), bit with abrupt tempo speed-up & jazzy guitar about a minute in. Then back to slower tempo. Odd noises appear after. Nice 3/4 waltzy end w/out of tune piano. 9.Not a bad mid-tempo jam. Pretty cool, pretty weird. Kinda quiet/private. Just nothing too exciting about it to recommend it. 10.drum machine and basic synths, close-mic vox, could be off a 80's euro cassette release 11. Cool coffee-house. I'd snap my fingers to the beat if I heard it live. +12.Heavy-handed in bits though catchy. Good banjo/guitar interplay, a little piano. Simple playing. One portion could be a Sufjan cover. +13.Beefheart-ish rock with thick-Brit spoken story | ||
