I’m Not So Sure It’s Not a Broken Heart by Karlos the Jackal

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.)

When My Baby Was Mine by Karlos the Jackal

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.

Happy by Karlos the Jackal

Happy is a fun, catchy, and bouncy song, though I like the somewhat dark vein. You know, like how the Magnetic Fields are sort of happily morose, if that makes any sense.
