Bizarre creepiness: mostly treated lap steel guitar, all slidey or plucky and echoey used as a soundbed for treated spoken vocals, heavily treated. Really weird vocals too. Altogether creepy and fascinating. Most tracks follow similar recipe for the most part, creepy soundbed with creepier vocs layed on top. Rare to hear drums, let alone anything that resembles a “song”. Check it out.
FCC clean.
1) creepy looped “these are the dark times” over spooky slidey tones and treatments
2) plucking tones as soundbed, slow string “rockets”, slides
3) shimmery sound bed, like a bowed saw
4) simple drums, a beat, added to the recipe
5) vocals are more decipherable, good stuff, music is just coloring
6) slow to fade in, more slidey creepiness etc
7) scrapey and strange, no vocals
8) echoey, creepy
9) bowing, etc, no vocs here too
10) more the same, a little percussion thrown in
11) a spastic feel, strange, watch false ending and final spoken phrase
