Snappy, lighthearted math rock with post-rock leanings. All instrumental. Circular songs that jam around the same repeated measure (Dianogah). Complex rhythms. Atmospheric effects. Fun.

1. Schnazy looped bassline, mixed time, spaced out synth/effects. First 3:00 can exist as its own song. 3:00-6:20 slows down for a post-rockish collage of synth/effects. 6:32 breaks back into a twist on the first theme.

2. Circular, complex time, upbeat & cheery.

3. Jams, with a nice kick on the offbeat. Quickly dissolves into a slow, moody interlude. Then back to the theme for more jagged-rhythm jam.

4. Slow, contemplative, takes its time going nowhere.

5. Swirling buzz & noise effects over catchy theme. Big climax. 10:00+.

6. Starts simply, escalates into a rhythmic, tribal sounding thing.
