Sounds Like
Varies from classic Britpop to garage/punk to folk. Psyche to pop and of course the singersongwriter style. I like classic evergreen songwriting, alot of 60's but some late 70's early 80's. I also like a bit of dissonance, beats/disco. But I'm basically alternative - Which means I mix genres rather than have a particular sound that way I don't get tied down to a particular
movement and then have to keep making the same music - that's boring! I like spacefolk too!!!
