Rather good mix of psych, hard rock, folk and a liberal dose of prog. Has that “taking stuff from 70’s and it bringing into the now” vibe.

((((1)))) Steady, swaggery hard rockin’ number with multiple vocals and 70’s keyboard fills.
(((((2))))) Solid, slow, hazy mix of Neil Young and later-era Mudhoney
(((((3))))) Really cool mix of folky psych exploding into hard rock (starting at 5:03).
((((4))))) Funk, fuzzy psych with mostly stoned out male & female vocals, later proggy keyboards.
(((((5))))) High pitched male vox that work well with acoustic strummin’. Silly ass lyrics about “beautiful ponies/so beautiful/they’ll kill us all.”
((((6)))) Airy, psych with female vox with good synth/mellotron work, gets louder at 4:40
((((7)))) Big drum sound and a very thudding 70’s hard rock/prog vibe.
((((8)))) Mellow, acoustic "downer rock" with a slice of very 70’s mellotron/synth and guitar fuzz. Well done.
(((((9))))) Mellow at first then it builds up into an epic, hella heavy rocker at 4:05 and then a trippy ambient psych jam and back again. Whoa-hah!
((((10))) Pretty female vox with airy ambience. Very nice.
