While the whole album falls into the broad category of psychedelic indie pop, they lean into classic country tropes, as on tracks with titles like "Rodeo Clown," a brokenhearted ballad with eventual harpsichord timbres, and "Vampire Cowgirl," a song that features clip-clopping percussion, slide guitar, and ' yodel-type inflections alongside scratchy needle-on-vinyl effects.
