"my favorite guided by voices record, Bee Thousand, this record is like terrible sounding at times, it doesn't make any sense and I'm pretty sure he just made it on his like eight track or something. all the songwriting is just like so simple but classic sounding and like the lyrics just consistently don't really make any sense but make you feel something regardless."Watch this moment

In a way, kind of typical like alternative rock but just was like way weirder, kind of mathy guitar stuff.

All the lyrics and the songs are just like about being on the road and just like losing yourself to the road and not being able to just like stay in one place."Watch this moment
