moody, bluesish, flamencoesque, cough syrup, death jazz, monster waltz music.
Knees and Elbows are the most awkward and flexible parts of the human anatomy... Some people reminisce about certain sexual positions, while others remember their (dad) track coach yelling "Knees and elbows! Knees and Elbows!" An ungainly, maladroit teen, can be colloquially derided as "All knees and elbows."
THESE SONGS ARE OUR DEMOS
