Interesting composed multi-themed musical score quality. Complex timings, meters, (but not prog in any way), strings, pianos, flutes, very glam 70’s orchestral in places (minus the guits). Mostly male vocs. Impossible to pidgeonhole this, which is a very good sign, right? All songs have multiple parts so a track by track analysis is difficult. All are well recorded and good. Check it out.
1) upbeat triplet stylings
2) darker feel in places
3) more minimal, slower
4) dissonant feel in places
5) upbeat galloping
6) very cinematic, melodic, epic
7) bowie feel
8) “clunky” rhythm, epic ending
9) mellow feel, but dense instrumentation
10) female vocs appear in duet, epic desperate chorus
11) almost an acoustic guit pop song
12) dark pretty thoughtful, fem+male duet, straight slow beat, builds, retards- watch ending, after a few seconds a brief track appears, a’cappela voices which fade quickly
