This is the demo version of Subject of the Kill, a rough, lo-fi, and garage rock song. The final pop-rock version was also posted – I liked it less. These two versions are the only songs posted by de novo dahl to date. I should label those – suggestions for a tag, anyone?

When I Was A Baby is a lovely & simple folk cover with fairly bizarre lyrics. It’s originally from The Donner Party, which has a calliope running beneath it, and The New Pornographers based an upbeat, cheerful rock song on it.

The Coat Hanger Song is an eclectic sort of song, shifting gears often – from a woodwind and a drumbeat, adding intricate guitarwork, to a hefty dirty guitar and a singing pirate to a cappella harmonizing. I love the many styles thrown together like this.
