Music tracks

Quirky and upbeat track with a nostalgic, homely feel. Rooted to a walking double bass line and jazzy swing beat, and filled out with silky strings, it's the flute and glockenspiel that take the melody to a new level of kitsch - a playful highlight accentuated by regular fills and breaks to keep its diversity and momentum interesting. A ray of sunshine in a perfect world bubble.

Synth rock track with a futuristic theme. Slightly kitsch in its sci-fi elements, like an early 80s B-movie, it's a mid paced song built on a steady beat and lots of synth texture, from gritty saw bass to sweeping filtered leads. Male vocals and harmonies add to the fun, luring you into its trippy, hypnotic web of retro space age flash.

A fresh bossa nova with a vintage vibe. Kicking off with classic uptempo Brazilian rhythms on guitar and flute, we're treated to some mellow vibraphone for a real lounge feel. Add in luxurious silky strings to accompany the flow, shaker driven Latin percussion and a warm, punchy bass line, and you have some super smooth easy listening, recreating a slice of South American kitsch.  

Possibly the happiest pop song ever written, it is the epitome of upbeat positivity. Superbly paced with dynamic lead vocals, great backing harmonies, and full of hooks, it manages to mix a genuine pop song with just a hint of kitsch. You're virtually guaranteed to leave with a smile on your face.

Slightly tongue-in-cheek track inspired by computer product sound design. Upbeat - yes, fun - yes, cheesy and corporate - definitely, but revel in it. It's still a well-structured piece of breakbeat kitsch that's lively, melodic and a little bit annoying in equal measure. Just go with the flow on this one, let your hair down and soak up its carefree attitude.

Spooky goings-on and creepy encounters guaranteed with this one - with a mix of playful kitsch and genuine horror soundscape, it has a bit of everything. Starting with a light glockenspiel and piano theme to set a tone of mystery and an air of suspense, things turn ugly for a disturbing mid section of synth warps and panicked effects, which never completely goes away as the main theme returns. Dramatic and familiarly chilling.

An upbeat orchestral arrangement that creates a light atmosphere of fun and carefree playfulness. Only short, but manages to instantly capture a light hearted mood with pizzicato strings, woodwinds and brass, accompanied by some light percussive charm. A little bit kitsch, of course, but with class and quality.

Cool commercial theme with a hypnotic casino funk style. Yep, spin the wheel and take your chance on this, a guitar based, almost jazz fusion, slice of groove calmed by a middle section of trippy lounge music. Tinged with dynamic brass runs and an unrelenting bass line, it's upbeat, stylish and ever so slightly kitsch.

A mellow rock song bookended by arpeggiated acoustic guitar- Radiohead meets The Beatles. Intimate vocals mix with playful electronica, slide guitar, groove bass and drums for a light track with heavy substance. Downbeat and chilled, slightly eclectic, it's mysteriously thoughtful in mood.

Indie pop rock song with a focus on extravagent vocals. With a retro garage feel, and at times mimimalist expression, the vocal harmonies and dynamics range from breathy whispers to pleading screams to attract your attention. Over a simple backbeat, clean and dirty guitars and a steady, melodic bass line, it's a quirky song about loving someone (or the denial of losing it) brave enough to use a whistle, glockenspiel and saxophone solo outro to reinforce the melodramatic qualitites. Upbeat in style yet slightly uncomfortable in mood, it's an authentic demonstration of frustrated angst and longing.

Indie garage rock song, with lots of added synth grit. Steady paced and rock solid, it features a cool bass groove over a strong beat with off beat electric guitar and warped synth textures and leads. Background vocals add harmony to the main male vocal, growing more distorted throughout the song for a dirty, lo-fi effect that adds intensity and interest to a track full of swagger and attitude.  

Inquisitive indie pop song. Maybe it's the intimate vocals sung from the head, heart and throat, maybe it's the whistled chorus, maybe it's the curious theremin leads or retro tremolo guitar tones - who knows, but it's a mysterious and bold mix to create a slightly psychadelic flavour in a downbeat, sleepy tune about questioning mental control, which despite this, manages to remain light and mellow in vibe.

Gentle pop folk tune. Rolling acoustic guitar and intimate male vocals build to a carefree, catchy chorus, featuring grittier crunch guitar and strings. Followed up by a flute break to add a mellow tone before each verse, it's a slightly hypnotic song with 60s/Beatles influences morphed into a more modern, but still chilled, musical cloud of calm joy.

Bluesy pop rock with a retro vibe. Shades of 60s guitar bands mixed with a modern indie rock flavour give this song a distinctive grit and swagger. Dirty guitars are ever present, focusing on single note riffs and rhythmic punches, as is the simple drum beat, while the lazy vocals - a male lead and mixed background harmonies - add a laid back, spaced feel to the song, even if the overall feeling is harder hitting.  

Folk pop, with a trip. A lightweight track mixing simple folk guitar with a melodic bass line and spaced male vocals. Scratchy electronica adds an eclectic touch to an otherwise steady and dreamy piece. Upbeat and cheerful, but definitely focusing on other states of mind.
