The vocals are that goth-y mid range that comes across to me as “important” or sad, less singing than imploring. But it’s set against a backdrop of psychedelic rock that harkens to the Strawberry Alarm Clock era and I’d really thought that sound was done. This is an interesting hybridization that ultimately has me wondering what they were like live since the album didn’t really move me beyond saying, “The Yeah Yeah Noh? Yeah, I’ve heard them”.
Their cover of The Beatles “She Said” is appropriately haunting and might be the best track here.
