Reviewed 2012-03-19
Indie pop with bouncy synth, lots of organ randomly. Some darker tunes occasionally. They experiment with different sounds here and there, which makes some of the sounds kinda cool. Check out 2, 4, 7, and 9. FCC clean

1. musicbox(in) (0:40)- Richocheting bell sounds. Haunting interlude
**2. Wait in the Dark (4:15)- Organ-sounding intro followed by upbeat synthy tune
3. Today is Our Life (5:13)- Darker tune, eerie tone in the background, muffled vocals, picks up later
**4. Yes I Know (3:40)- Dark tune again. Hauntingly beautiful. Warm undertones, distant vocals. WARNING: takes about 8 secs for tune to really start
5. Offers (3:57)- 80s feel to this song. Bouncy bass
6. Humming (2:45)- Interlude that begins with organ plus chorus sound that goes distorted. Then suddenly the tune completely changes to a cheerful, upbeat tempo
**7. Sunhits (3:34)- More organ that fades into upbeat synthy tune
8. Worries (5:26)- More organ! “Preachy” kinda sound if that makes sense at all…Gets more synthy later. Different and odd but I kinda like it for some reason.
**9. Fell Thru Ice (2:07)- Distant electric guitar picking. Pretty and simple
10. Fell Thru Ice II (3:04)- Eerie bell sounds, dark bass. Picks up to a warmer tune in second half. Gets muffled at end. Dramatic interlude
11. Trance Sisters (3:56)- Upbeat, has a rushed feel to it that makes me think of some sort of movie chase scene. Dramatic synth in end
12. musicbox(out) (0:57)- Same tune as first song
