Kind of punky, blues-based, avant, weirdo cabaret indie rock in the vein of Gogol Bordello at times, but more experimental. Protest music, angry, no-wave influence, sax and accordion thrown in there. Not too dissimilar from some of the Slusaj material we receive. A little bit Paper Chase, a little bit Man Man. Not my favorite, but decent artistic merit here. 1. People talking drowned out. Washes of neo-klezmer-isms, repetitive bass and drums. (2:56) 2. Beat up piano chords, gruff, repetitive vocals, blues structure, nightmarish piano solo. (2:51) 3. 2/4 punk instrumental. Brief, fast, not very pretty. (1:02) 4. Piano/drum/bass syncopation, kind of droney, politically charged vocals. (1:55) 5. Abrasive, dirty guitar playing with ringing pianos, repetitive vocal line, doubled vocals, saxophone squalls and solo are a bit out of place. (2:17) *6. Rhythmic groove, driving bass/piano, actually reminds me of Remain in Light-era Talking Heads, horror piano, sloppy drums with chanting vocals in the second half. (3:49) 7. FCC: shit. Kind of repetitive rhythm. If you do play it, cue it. (3:30) *8. Atmospheric, creepy, slow, dissonant piano, skittery drums and uneasy guitar muted textures. (3:55) 9. Casio horns, atonal wandering, dissonance, structureless/improv instrumental along a loose rhythm. (2:18) 10. Accordion-leading intro, shifts a couple times to a more Dead Kennedys-lite punk thing, then back to an awkward gypsy jaunt. (2:46) 11. Martin Luther King quoting, bizarre thing, piano, upbeat. (2:32) *12. Instrumental. Slow, a little bit classical, but off-tune and off-time. Drums and dissonant guitar chords. (3:14) 13. Horror punk groove, kind of fun and toe-tapping, again I hear Dead Kennedys-lite with a beat-up piano. (1:40) 14. Very directly anti-military, political, sarcastic, spoken word along simple, low guitar picking. (2:45) 15. Melodic ballad opening with warm near-tunefulness, drums never settle on a normal pattern, guitar stabbing and fast tremelo picking, another political song. (4:24) 16. Punk-middling, fast power chords and dark piano hammering and melodicism. (2:27) | ||
