Waltz #2 is a pretty if downbeat acoustic ballad, with lovely harmonizing.

womankind is a slow and sincere ballad to the awesomeness of women. It’s acoustic; melodica, piano, and the lap steel that I love.

Trampoline is an acoustic ballad. I love the sound of the guitar here – it sounds like a steel guitar, with the reverb that makes me think of the desert.

Killing All My Friends is a slow murder ballad, then pop song / “James Bond soundtrack” – which helps defuse the lyrical oddity.

Half Empty Waltz is an evocative and sad song, a collaboration with es_de_bah. It feels like autumn and Tom Waits and holidays spent alone.
