Mostly slow, chill rock music with earnest vocals, acoustic guitars, and various treats like Hammond organs, upright bass, clarinets, etc. Might be comparable to a non-electric Pavement, but neither as clever nor as pretentious. Mountain Goats are a decent place of reference as well. The singing isn’t really strong, but is definitely sincere and the music tends to be soft, but definitely dynamic. There’s a lyric sheet that you can check.
1 Rhythm lulls you back and forth.
2 Very cheesy love song with violin in background.
3 One FCC! Other than that, it’s a nice song.
4 Understated rocker.
5 Instrumental, has a kind of late-‘60s soul feel to it because of the organ, but is definitely an indie rock song.
6 Found this to be pretty boring.
7 Real slow start. Tinny guitar with vocals. Very nice accordion.
8 Love song with acoustic guitar rhythm.
9 Very lo-fi Mountain Goats thing.
10 Much like number 8.
11 Real slow with additional female vocals.
12 Violin in addition to the normal stuff.
13 Upbeat, modest electric guitar rocker.
14 Boring, I thought.
