This Promo CD from Neurotic Yell Records is yummy and fun and suhweeeeet. Lots of worthwhile tracks, most featuring female vocalists. A mix of lo fi, pop, and rock.
1. *Calypso-WEAVE! (2:59) chill electric guitar, cool female vocals, mmmm, kinda beachy
2. H (heart) H-WEAVE! (3:04)-more driven, female vocals, pretty
3. *Faustine-Raw Geromino (3:40)-female vocals, breathier, more sultry, steady beat
4. Magnetic Love-Raw Geromino (3:51)-slower, simpler, romantic
5. I Won't Cry-Brass Tax (2:48)-female vocals, sassy, soulful, kazoo solo in the middle, feels kind of like a modern 60's girl group
6. Get It On Up-Amanda Jo Williams (2:36) female vocals, sounds like a little girl, slow, instruments almost country-ish
7. Hello Good Morning-Amanda Jo Williams (2:15) more of the little girl vocals, reminds me of something Sandy would sing in Spongebob
8. *Her Useful Dream-Siddhartha (3:45) dreamy male vocals against chanting woah-ohs, female backing, futuristic instrumentals surprise at the end
9. *Etoil De Mer-Swahili Blonde (5:30) super pretty, refreshing female vocals, upbeat, mid tempo, grows increasingly lush with strings
10. Bed Bugs-Crooked Cowboy & The Freshwater Indians (4:48)-dark male/female vocals, slow, menacing, eerie instrumentation builds
11. Annalog And Her Hopeful Diaries-Crooked Cowboy & The Freshwater Indians (5:04) more creepy dark male/female vocals and creepy instrumentation building, feels like it has more direction, maybe a bad dream
12. Old Blood-BIG SIR (3:45) ethereal female vocals, poppy instruments, mid tempo
13. The Dump-Dante Vs Zombies (3:02) quirky, rough male vocals, mid tempo, some effects sound like a video game
14. The Dump Remix-VAGENDA (3:03) remix of the song before but it doesn't feel like a remix
15. Overnight-Jail Weddings (3:27) strong male vocals, feels overly grand like The Smiths with a modern twist
16. Shot on the Spot-Raw Geronmino (3:01) super sultry female vocals are back, marching, belongs in one of those fancy weird nightclubs in movies, dramatic
17. *Role Play-Raw Geronmino (3:22) this lady is so over the top and seductive, it's wonderful, strong female vocals, poppy
Role Play Remix (feat Teri Gender Bender)-VAGENDA 18. (3:39)-sweet remix of the song before, makes it dreamier
19. Purple Ink-Swahili Blonde (5:36) female vocals, sultry, strong beat, mid tempo, gets stranger and mixed up in the middle
1. *Calypso-WEAVE! (2:59) chill electric guitar, cool female vocals, mmmm, kinda beachy
