Recommend NOT to add this. Slick, way-overproduced, folky-rock-psychedelia. Plus, it's just irritating.
1. Thom-Yorke-esque vocals, synthesized folk sound.
2. I'm getting hives. Male-female harmonizing in psuedo-folk drivel.
3. "Vultures are circling" them... this is warranted.
4. Lame chord transitions; plodding, Soul Asylum influence.
5. Sounds like the Verve, but not in a good way -- lame, boring song.
6. Psuedo-Southern/alt-country. The vocalist suddenly develops accent.
7. Predictable crescendo: your nightmare case of overproduction.
8. "Southern Rain" -- enough said.
*9. Cool as in chill, acceptable melody, unmoving lyrics, but listenable.
10. ~Pink Floyd~ Minimal acoustic, then the strings SWELL. Yeah.
11. More rockin' than the rest.
12. Acoustics and soft organ that goes no where. Which is almost refreshing here, except lyrics are like, "huh?"...inexplicable bookends of dreamy electronica.
