SWCK / Unicorn Chasers
From their website: “Unicorn Chasers is a record based around the Jew’s Harp that chronicles the folk music of a neo-native peoples who must contend with an ever present menace of Unicorns who share their post-apocalyptic world.”
A world music flavor (is that a didgeridoo?) meeting the USA's south with a twang, plucky guitar. Lots of twang, guitars and some progressive riffs with an experimental feel. A few, fun, upbeat tracks that get the toes tapping and bring you to the South.
FCC: Clean
Disc 1: 3, 4, 10, 13
1 Aborigine sound with a twang feel [instrumental]
2 upbeat and twangy quick rifts
3* slowly progressing wobble beats, sad stumble down the street, picks up the beat for porch sitting fun (second half)*
4**Bango-tasktic! With a twist of alternative instrumental spunk, twangy bounce Zydeco*
5 slow guitar opening, more traditional light rock feel, melding into faster guitars and almost a rock ballad
6 robotic twang with guitars and a syntheses
7 progressive guitar twang with swirls and pops, layered sound
8 low sound volume until 1:10, barely hear and at an off-killer pace. [do not play]
9 upbeat guitar twang and nicely layer play
10* Spanish flamenco start to light rock layer on top*
11 quite until 1:00, balcony plucking sound, non-progressive, ends 8 sec early
12 low rumbling start, vast desert sound, no progression, miss-adventure
13* Bells and whistles, upbeats and guitar adventure*
14 upbeat computer twang
15 Twang guitar with drums and slowly twisting guitars rift
16 slow twang guitar with pops and picks, picks up steam
17 oddly western feel with up-tempo drums and a worldly feel, ends 15 secs early
