A slow, ornate orchestral pop song with a dark side. This song can conjure feelings that all is not well in paradise. A modern take on skewed 60's pop rock balladry.
Features the psychedelic sounds of the mellotron: recorders and strings as heard on 'Strawberry Fields' or '10,000 Light Years From Home'.
Keywords: dark, ornate, orchestral, sinister, sad, mournful, bitter-sweet pop

Get What's Coming (Instrumental)

A orchestral rock and roll song with hints of Phil Spector's wall of sound. This is a driving, emotive song with heavy doses of drama and longing, appropriate for a last minute dash to the station to prevent a loved one from leaving, or the moment at which the young lovers escape together in a stolen car into the sunset. Melodrama!
Keywords: dramatic, jubilant, big finish, explosive, romantic, climactic, wall of sound, be my baby

Telescope (Instrumental)

A rocking indie tune with a big guitar hook and a grungey pop heart. Reminiscent of a party night out with friends, grabbing an informal bite with a date, drinking at a show, hitting the town or getting up to mischief in the city. 'Weezer-esque', if that's a term.
Keywords: Jubilant, celebratory, party, fun, get pumped, bar hopping, rock club

Something More (Instrumental)

This is a synth-pop tune inspired by groups like New Order, who incorporated modern electro drum patterns with organic live drum sounds in the early 80s. A frosty, dramatic pop sing that evokes big dance moves in warehouse clubs, or a night on the town with the cast of a John Hughes movie. All delivered with a contemporary indie dance sensibility.

Falling Through the Cracks (Instrumental)

Suited for driving scenes, travel scenes, hallucinatory sequences, dreams, cosmic journeys and all other manner of trips.
A metronomic pulsing 'Art Rock' song with psychedelic synths and dynamic guitars, akin to the 'warm jets' of Brian Eno or Roxy Music in the early 70s. A good alternative when a Velvet Underground / Bowie / Stereolab vibe is required.
Keywords: hypnotic, repeating, compelling, hallucinatory, glam rock, psychedelic, expansive, dramatic, dynamic.

Turn It Off? Leave It On! (Instrumental)

A mid-paced acoustic indie pop tune, melodic, bouncy and appropriate for any whimsical or light-hearted moment. The sound of a sunny day, children at play, a couple having fun together on a date, or a family together on an adventure.
Keywords: Fun, Sunny, Upbeat, Peppy, Carefree, Happy, Whimsy, Light-hearted, Easy-going, Melodic

Do It Again (Instrumental)

A gentle ballad in the form of a lullaby, with some gentle psychedelic and ambient elements. A perfect soundtrack to a rendezvous under the stars, a reverie of old memories or a quiet moment with family.

Baby Nina (Instrumental)

A upbeat, horn laden, 60's inspired song akin to the Kinks, the Beatles or Blur. Evokes a morning walk through a bustling town or a sunny day in the park. Gentle psychedelia.
Keywords: Upbeat, Happy, 60's, Psychedelic, Brit-pop.
Genre: Rock, Pop.

An Albatross (Instrumental)

An acoustic feel-good pop song with a driving beat, perfect for a fun scene outdoors, in a back yard with friends, or going on a road trip in the summer.
Keywords: Breezy, Sunshine, Pop, Happy, Relaxed, Fun, Gentle, Playful, Summer
