Key Lime Pie

Camper Van Beethoven

A dense, cinematic farewell. Swirling violins and organ meet David Lowery's deadpan delivery in a landscape of desert-noir psychedelia and historical irony.

It's like a noir film set in the desert with a violin that won't stop crying.

A sophisticated, world-weary blend of desert psychedelia and melancholic storytelling.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the violin mimics a psychedelic lead guitar on the Status Quo cover.
The sudden, lush swell of organ that anchors the chorus of All Her Favorite Fruit.
The transition from the eerie Opening Theme into the driving, cynical groove of Jack Ruby.
