Folky acoustic music with hip-hop ideas. One-man band: Tom Filepp of Portland. The general pattern is one of contrast: mildly gloomy acoustic tracks overlaid with vocals, rap, or drum machine. The acoustic parts often get sampled & looped, adding to the modern feel but also creating a numbing, dull repetition. Filepp's voice isn't strong but has stage presence. The whole package doesn't always work, but it's worth a spin on pop shows or boundaryless hip-hop shows.
FCC clean.

1- Off-key clarinet/horn dirge, drum machine stomp, poetic female spoken word
2- Banjo, tart vocal, folky but aggressive
3- Halted strumming, wordy lyrics. Mid/fast but sparse. Crazy atonal instrument break later on.
4- Calmly bouncy guitar,
5- Calm guitar/xylophone riff, instrumental
6- Glitchy acoustic
7- Toylike piano, a wistful and melodic song. Thickly layered vocals
8- Catchy guitar tones, rustling beat, Asian-like random vocal. Good track, too brash to be called "shoegazer."
9- Gentle string plucks, tough hip-hop vocal front.
10- Sad faux-cabaret melody. Stomping, overriding beat. Some dissonance. Instrumental.
11- Midtempo tune, pleasant but a gloomy air. Repetitious, tedious ending stretches it beyond 7 minutes.
