After the Summer Has Gone is a chamber pop song – think Magnetic Fields, with autoharp and marxophone. It was also part of the “summer song” Music Challenge, but it’s more about how the summer in the past tense.

My Favorite Sunbeam’s Gone Away is a happy and bouncy song with morose lyrics, which Karlos the Jackal always does so well.

Today’s the day of Mayan apocalypse and Timewave Zero! See you in the next age!
I’m Not So Sure It’s Not a Broken Heart is a happy bouncy pop song about heartbreak. It’s pretty catchy, and it has a marimba and autoharp, if you like offbeat instruments. (I very much do.)
I Knew the Bride When She Used to Rock’n’Roll is like a Magnetic Fields outtake; deliberate pace, bass singing, and unusual instruments – Marxophone and autoharp.
The original versions are by Nick Lowe and also by Dave Edmunds, and they’re rockabilly or roots rock.
Too Late to Sleep is a dreamy track. It’s an alt-pop song, with a hypnotist,a filtered autoharp, a violin-uke, and a Stylophone.
When We Were Small is a downtempo but mellow song – a strummed autoharp, and a marimba – with lyrics about looking back on childhood as if from a great distance.
When My Baby Was Mine sounds like tragic 1950’s pop, with some extra fuzzy guitar-sounding thing that’s actually an autoharp.
Previously, I posted Karlos the Jackal’s Happy, which I said reminded me of The Magnetic Fields, and having said that of course there’s some similarity here too.
