You Are Somewhere Around Here is a remix of a song by the Maybenauts, and it’s largely timestretched: the song is slowed down, which lends the guitars a very heavy sound, like distorted shoegazer guitars.

A Nighttime Song is a dreamy pop song, with a bit of a dark side to it. The background “pipe organ” makes me think of a carousel in a nightmare.
It’s malocchio’s first time on the podcast, with their first song!

Syllogismobile is an interesting poppy song – the trumpets make it seem like a 50’s pop song, with lyrical references to symbolic logic.

Caminito verde is a Spanish folk cover of a Alejo Durán song – though it sounds like acoustic guitar and harmonica, it’s really a requinto jarocho and a melodica.

Over My Shoulder is a pretty and sad song, a woman singing over a piano about a love moving on.
If you’ve noticed a pattern among the recent songs, I know, and it’s not you. My guess is that winter 2009 wasn’t a happy one.

History has a piano-backed woman plaintively singing about her romantic history repeating itself. I guess it’s piano pop.
