Mathy post-punk. M vocals, crunchy guitar, time signatures you can't quite get.

++1. Vocal in monotone. I like the bassline. mid-fast driving beat. Sense of dread. Gets noisy, ends by melting. Math with goth/post-punk sensibility.
2.Would go well in a 90’s goth set. Mid-tempo. 3/3/2 rhythm. Cymbals & hihat everywhere.
3.Them tinkling guitars like Zep intro… In ¾ time or something close to that. 2nd half fuller sound and a more interesting than 1st/.
+4.Dissonent “wrong”-sounding guitar chords, gutsy./ Bare production. Last third is great heavy instrumental, ending with fadeout drone
+5.Ringing distorted guitar, rolling beat has a little stutter. Alt, angst love song
+6.Radio-friendly (after the plodding intro), F backing vocals, minor key, mid-slow.
7.Screeching guitar, fast. Loudens- shouting in 2nd half, hard end
8.Lighter & brighter & longer, hint of optimism to close the disc. Noise turned up a notch at end.
