The main track is a bit jarring as it kicks off with a bed of odd noises that remind me of some early Devo weirdness. Over the top of that, there are some high pitched keyboard bell notes that drop in occasionally at first; as the song goes along, the keyboard jumps in more. And then the tone shift arrives.
The remaining four tracks on the album are what I guess I’ll call experimental industrial ambient. It reminds me of The Flying Lizards at their most lo-fi (like on the song “Events During Flood” from their first album). The four songs sound like different mixes of the same track (and the song titles suggest that as well). In fact, these are likely deconstructions of that opening song, although it’s not necessarily obvious that “AsTheDewDrops!” provides the source material. Regardless, it’s all somewhat quiet. You could play this and it would just be unobtrusive background noise, or it might also remind you of hearing different noises coming from several neighbor’s apartment windows at the same time. But if you turn it up and focus, you’ll hear many things including what sounds like sampled voices, accordion, backwards electronics, and maybe even a train, to name a few. Subtle and satisfying.
