Ranges from intense to contemplative. Poppy, small band feel, sometimes too heavy on the guitar and drums combo. At their best when they keep it restrained and minimalistic – sometimes they cut a little too loose toward the end of a song. The slower songs have an almost medieval/Renaissance feel.
1 Intense; overlaid male vocals, pop guitar-heavy, guitar duet mid-track
2 Harmonica, understated guitar, saw, group male vocals at the end
*3 Contemplative; slow tempo, male falsetto, mandolin, accordion
4 Quiet, dreamy (at first); guitar, male vocals, builds toward guitar/drum-heavy climax
5 Mid-tempo, urgent guitar and drums, male vocals, ends w/ guitar solo
6 Instrumental. Guitar, heavy at times, slowly builds toward heavy drums
*7 Quiet guitar/accordion intro, understated male vocals, mandolin. Dreamy, Saturday-morning kind of feel.
