They have all the little signifiers for "arty" neatly lined up, paradoxically making them really trad.

Does it sound like the Fall? Keep meaning to listen to this on Spotify but have not yet done so.

i played this a lot over and over again at first. it seemed to make the humor of it grate a little. maybe better to let it sound surprising from time to time?

The record didn't hold up very well for me, but they were pretty entertaining live.
