Indie rock, a calm demeanor but still has some rock in it (2,5,9,14). Airy female vocal. Not afraid of experimenting a bit; I liked the instrumental interludes and the overall sound on tracks like 5 and 14. They could use a better keyboardist, though; the piano on 8 and especially 11 is a little embarrassing. Gets overdramatic at times but overall good stuff with a sensitive side.

1- Soft blooming
2- Midtempo chugging, kinda rocks
3- Piano/synth interlude, slowish
4- Slow sway, heavy.
5- Chuggy start, then airy drifting w/horn synths. It slows down, but a nice beat develops.
6- Melodrama and atmosphere (interlude)
7- Rough crashing intro, into a gentle mid/fast song. Ends with field recordings of birds -- oh please.
8- Piano-led instrumental, on a really basic riff
9- Rocking but downcast, mid/fast
10- (Noodling around on toy instruments)
11- Big serious piano (two slow ham-fisted chords), rustling beat. Soul-searching. Good song, but that piano "riff" just kills it
12- Slow, spacious
13- Gongs interlude
14- Cool thumping pulse. Later, bells!
15- Soft & pretty, w/harder guitar interludes
16- Slow burning guitar, lots of cymbal crashing. Instrumental.
