Indie pop, songs range from instrumental spazzy but nothing super experimental or weird. Songs are melodic, listful and a tinge folky at times. This is indie pop done well, without the super twee factor some at the station despise. FCC Clean.
1. (1:33) Sparse, musing soft noises including some piano keys and chirping birds. Sounds like the background music to a sepia toned flashback in a movie.
2. (3:52) Slow, folky peaceful song has some indie pop harmonized vocals moments.
3. (3:55) Midtempo upbeat, Fleet Foxes-ish sounding unimposing declarative vocals. "If we're gonna do it, do it now"
4. (3:02) Tinkery bittersweet ballad.
5. (2:06) Shimmery loops distorted "wash"ing turns into beachy slow pop song.
6. (4:14) Mid/fast drums upbeat jangle pop song with tambourine. Fade out.
7. (1:28) Lumbering piano builds up tensely.
8. (2:37)*** Solid indie rocker, dreamy vocals but with some edge in the guitar bridges.
9. (1:32) Somewhat jazzy sounding lounge vocals.
10. (4:44) Slow sweet waltzing builds towards the end.
11. (2:15) Warbling intro, dissonant piano amidst gentle tapping noises.
