Palmhenge

Country twang folk-rock; guitar and male vocals from one of the guys in Cracker. Lots of catchy tunes ranging from deep country to rock, stacked with heavyhanded pop production that makes it feel more artificial than necessary. There's still good stuff here, though. About 50/50 acousic vs. electric.

Topics veer from country themes to things like outsourcing (2), computer hacking (8), and celestial/pirate/huh? (12). Liked the lyrics on 5,7,12. FCC clean thanks to some edits (5,10)

1- Intro track; echoey, slow folk.
2- Catchy, poppy and (if you listen) kinda depressing
3- A serious one. Fast guitar and a dusty Western minor key
4- Mid/slow, overly thick emotion
5- A bouncy sway, midtempo and a bit sentimental
6- Kinda tough rocker, mid/fast and electric, reverb vox
7- Peppy acoustic country, fast guitar, SoCal area codes
8- Tongue-in-cheek anthemic, big sound. Ode to a hacker
9- Gentle mid/fast rocker
10- Country tune, heavy twang, low vocal. Simple and cute.
11- Slow. Swaying beat gets tough later
12- Folky strumming, a friendly upbeat midtempo. Catchy.
