Is Corporate Americana a genre? If that's what you've been searching for, look no further. Ukulele riffs, strummed guitar and a healthy lead of banjo join forces over a stomp beat for a country folk inspired theme that leaves you smelling of campfires, spreadsheets and horses. And bacon apparently.

Ambient world lounge with an upbeat feel. With its mix of ambient pads, traditional sitar and energising percussion, there's a real richness and diversity to savour. Predominantly Asian influenced, it ebbs and flows through the dynamic instrumentation to create a chilled, rhythmic soundscape with shimmering details.

A short, simple instrumental between piano and electric guitar. Emotionally sensitive and fragile, broken piano chords form the basis for the clean, reverbed guitar to lay its delicate melody over, making use of effects to create a smooth, atmospheric soundscape of gentle tenderness. Lilting, sensual and melancholic thoughout.

A bright, inspiring instrumental pop/rock track featuring piano and strings. Starting with gentle arpeggiated piano and smooth electric and acoustic guitar, a gradual build up reveals drums, bass and a mellow violin lead. Inspirational in its feel with constant movement and progression, it's a dynamic midtempo piece with softer, reflective moments flourishing into fuller, grandiose themes.

Banjo groove rock with a lo-fi feel. Simple but effective, what starts as a bluegrass banjo riff soon turns into a deep bass groove with a rock steady drumbeat. Vintage vinyl crackle adds warmth and character, a touch of slide guitar and vocals adds variety, and sporadic banjo licks keep us rooted in old time country territory. A cool, laidback swagger with a mix of old and new.

Sentimental pop rock track. Starting with an emotional warm piano accompanied by strummed acoustic guitar, the piece builds to its full, heroic, string enhanced chorus while never losing its calm, assured presence. Determined and positive in feel, with an uplifting, heartfelt spirit.
