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.
