Reviewed 2010-12-17
Strangeness, noisey and experimental collage, sample art and noise rock. Low fi, electronics and guitar bass drums, distorto stuff, female and male vocs. From that bizarre vortex of Providence, RI. Brick/Josh alert.

1) pseudo interview mentions The Rutles and sets a silly contrast to serious toned drone
2) noise plod, huge and dark, soaring distant vocs
3) samples a folksy Rogers and Hammerstien’esque melodic ballad, with electro noise collage
4) slow meandering with vocal samples, cool electro sound bed
5) noise rock, with sloppy drums, vocal heavy but not dominated, bent
6) big bashing noise rock, epic melodic chorus, midway it shifts into a more reverby psyche druggy thing
7) strange poppy thing, with melodic vocals, songlike
8) “a capela”, echoey weird vocals only
9) mostly vocals, no drums, but rhythmic subtle synth, low fi feel
10) vocal experimentations with subtle rhythm
11) heavy vocal experimentations, almost a Steve Reich’ian feel, intense looping
12) more interesting looping vocals, a noisey drone effect
