All at once soothing and exhilarating, Bombs Away is a study in suspension and release. It takes its pulse from Kraftwerk's "Radio Activity" and its general tone from Radiohead's "Everything In Its Right Place." |

Though melancholy, this song is playfully presented as if by a lounge singer performing with a mall organ and a cha cha beat. Make Believe features a trombone soli straight out of a Burt Bacharach song. |

A bombastic and dark recording, S.O.B. is dense with percussion loops, rich vocals and guitar counter-melodies. The end section is full of tape-manipulated backing vocals reminiscent of Bowie's "Hunky Dory" and a strong falsetto that sounds like an electric guitar. |

Poor Devil blossoms out of its first soothing chord into a swirl of loud guitars, manipulated vocals and heavy drum loops. The simple chorus lyric, "I don't want to. I know you want me to," is sung, not as a spoiled child but as a poor devil. |

Written as a celebration of "retroism," People Complain borrows from a variety of artists and styles, including disco, ELO, Motown, The Beach Boys and James Brown. It's truly a fun song. |

Woman is a slow, cocky strut with a vamp full of lush trombones, a sparse verse dominated by percussion and a strong chorus with an Iggy Pop-esque croon.

The percussion of Like Today is comprised of little more than the beeps and rasps of life support machines in the hospital room of a dying patient. The song is sparse but blossoms into a quietly euphoric chorus filled with angelic trombones and harp-like acoustic guitars. |
