This is rougher in recording values than later work by Adam Pierce. But evidence of his dubwisdom is apparent throughout. It's all solo instrumentation, too, as far as i know. But the compostions are wonderfully intricate and the instruments are masterfully played. "It's a joke, it's supposed to be funny," is more than a tongue in cheek vocal arrangement. It's a beautiful song. "Surprise!" is a pretty sick overdubbed break with disjointed malletwork and an identifiably Moog Rouge west coast whistle sliding in towards the middle. "In the Water..." is a dreamy blissed out piece of guitar harmonics with female vocals of an urban latina persuasion. Boodleybaye's overall sound reminds me a band that has been playing in your basement for a while and is getting really good. This is great instrumental post rock.
