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

I Think You’re Alright (demo) is a pretty great rock song. (Not a lovesong.) I like the groove of the bass guitar especially, and the touches of synth throughout.

The Undiscovered Country Song is an acoustic laid-back alt-country song, about closeness and separation.
I have a soft spot for the piano, and I also love the cello here, and the layered chaos that wraps it up.

My Heart Will Give You Up by The White Hat
Posted by Pronoiac
on 2012-11-15
No comments
So I have some good news and some bad news. And then a bit more good news. Like a sandwich. Anyway.
The good news is, Celine Dion isn’t well-represented in My Heart Will Give You Up. Just in the intro.
The bad news is, Rick Astley is around.
There’s more good news. It’s well done, with The White Hat’s vocals and skills at banjo, guitar, and harmonica making what could be just a goofy song, sort of good and epic (although yes, still deeply silly). And, I don’t think there’s any more rickrolling on the horizon here, though I won’t make promises.

Slo is mostly an ambient, quiet track with guitars – but, it includes some shoegazer-ish guitars in the background.

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.

Some Other Boy/Girl is folk rock, with atmospheric, heavily filtered vocals. I like the staccato bass guitar, the sound of crystal bells or chimes.
Is saying it’s “laid-back” redundant here?
