These 14 tracks are best described as experimental sound collages. Many of them have a melody underlying them, but most are somewhat haphazard.
1. Slow guitar plucking along with clips of different New York-sounding people talking about different problems they’re having. Then around the 3rd minute, a frantic violin is introduced that gives way to more vocals clips.
2. Annoying electronic whine with intermittent keyboard and different effects.
3. Kinda like number 2.
4. Slight bass pulses, drum synthesizer that sounds like a pig, and clapping sounds over some electronic whine.
5. Light cymbals and fuzzy pulses along with periodic keyboard sounds.
6. Weird electric drone gives way to an eventual sarode and what sounds like a tea kettle coming to boil.
7. Static fuzz with various electronic oscillations.
8. Really pointed electric ticks and a random organ in the back. This really irritated me.
9. Sounds like a broken electric message transmitter from a science fiction movie.
10. Kinda keeps a guitar melody with different voice samples overlaid.
11. A bit like a simple keyboard being played through a broken speaker with different video game-sounding blips.
12. Noisy percussion with a dark, brooding fuzz overhead.
13. Like number 7.
14. Loud, cantankerous track with lots of different electronic and organic sounds.
