Other[edit | edit source]

  • Hey There Fancypants - At least some guitar tracks are sped up
  • Laura - Something fucked up is going on with this song for sure. Sounds simultaneously sped up and slowed down. This could be a chorus pedal on the guitar and vocals, as The Pod and Pure Guava(recorded around the same time) have some very trippy chorus and phaser effects.
  • The Wind - In some versions, the second half of the song is replaced with the tape reversing at various speeds. Fortunately, there are full versions of the song without the tape manipulation on YouTube.
