Very noisy, lo-fi, often drone-based country/blues-tinged pop songs. Tons of reverb, delay, feedback and tape hiss over chugging blues riffs or folk fingerpicking. This is a collection of KV's home recordings: very much the R. Stevie Moore/Ariel Pink aesthetic. RIYD: Beach House, Strokes, Wavves, Times New Viking. 01.*** One of KV's catchiest most upbeat pop tunes; very Is This It? 02. Slower country-folk number. Virtually no noise, just a drum machine and plenty of reverb. 03.** Slower w/ fingerpicking. Alien hum/radio squall behind the vox. 04.*** Seriously beautiful, sinister, deep-winter fingerpicking. Slapback reverb, no noise. 05. 3-min instrumental, mostly textured noise and hiss. 06.** Calmer, melancholy full-strummed number w/ a steady 4/4 drumbeat. Little hiss, plenty reverb. 07. 30 second space-noise interlude. 08. Slow and ambient w/ a barely-there flitch beat and delaaaaaayed, whispered vox. Beach House meets Amnesiac. 09. Dreamy, spaced out and slow. Sounds like its title. 10. 1:45 space noise interlude. 11. 1:28 mumbling and noise interlude. 12. Space signals and samples w/ some muttered vocals and plenty hiss. 13.* Pretty acoustic fingerpicking rag w/ a downtrodden, melancholy vocal melody. | ||
