Self described as psychedelic folk and that pretty much nails it but they do seem to have a preoccupation with death and the dark stuff. Songs about dead fathers, mothra, halloween, etc.?? Male and female vocals and a great number of instruments being played including the sitar, acoustic guitar, percussion, etc. 13 tracks, the longest track is 4m 35s.
