Another good song! Very catchy! It's creepy and happy all at the same time. Kinda like someone I know.... Erin

Thanks for the listen and the kind words...
it's like gypsy meets 80's sitcom theme song :)The percussion is uber catchy and the dissonance makes for slow digestion. You guys are crafty.
I wonder how these would sound with my style of old rock and roll? No pun intended.
nice beat, nice guitars...
