The much hyped pop band from Tennesse. The lyrics are very very sweet/cutesy. The diverse, over-the-top instrumentation is almost circus-like. There's a sense of hyperactive rock opera through or musical theater, Vocals sound like Neutral Milk Hotel made a happy, twee album. All together, it's summery, airy, but very saccharine. I would recommend 5,3,1
Sounds like: Belle and Sebastian meets Vamp Weekend meets Broadway Musical
1. 2:06 Electronic violins, keyboards, sleigh bells. Melodic dreamy vocals with cute lyrics
2. 2:53 Male and Female call and response. Acoustic guitars, brass, and cellos
3. 2:20 really vibrant synths and violines . The single
4. 2:22 hyperactive song with lots of transitions and styles
5. 3:52 Starts with cellos. Simple, catchy vocal. Reminds me of Age of Consent. Dreamy\
6. 2:15 Another call and response. Lots of synths
7. 1:51 Very cutesy. Stands out as bouncy and bright (even compared to the other songs)
8. 2:55 A wistful pop ballad. Tipani, electronic violines, other electronics
9. 2:48 Sine vocal harmonies. more call and response. Instrumentation is diverse as alwaqys
10 3:12 Synths, Kits if them. Relatively simple/clean though. Doesn't stand well alone outside the context of the album
11. 2:24 Reminds of 10. Not really reflective of the typical Magic Kid's style
