‘Beekeeper’ is a frenetic opener, throwing us into a squall of guitars and drums upon which Tincho’s vocals float, the relentless noise juxtaposed against his even-toned, almost detached delivery. ‘Golden Car’ is more far less hurried, a languid summer number which might coalesce into something more serious if only night should fall, but instead stretches on in the amber light of dusk.

“She drives around in her golden car,
I can barely hear myself over the burn
She picks me up in her golden car
I don’t think anything could stop her
No, we don’t need anything to stop this
I don’t need anything to simmer down
Take me the long way home”

As we described in our previous post, ‘Seattle’ (and its accompanying video) has “a weirded-out 90s vibe, a time of neon-drenched puddles and mass UFO sightings within the dead limits of big cities”, following a loner protagonist moving through these scenes in a dreamy abstraction, “feeling a few notches loose from society”. The catchy ‘Underwater Eyes’ picks up with what seems to be the tale of missed opportunities with a face from televisual advertisements (“I’ve been watching your TV commercial on repeat / Seven years don’t seem too far in my dreams”), while closer ‘We Dono’ returns to the loose-limbed sloppiness of ‘Golden Car’, though here the tone is decidedly more contemplative, the verses building toward the titular expression of confusion.

“I cherish the hard times
Wear them close to my soul
You know I don’t like that
that I’m leaving alone”
