Definitely different. Its catchy, its kinda bending genres. Sounds country-rock with a new wave vocal. I wouldnt have done that ending, but it does what it does. Maybe I would, its unusual.
Reminds me of Athens Ga and B52s and similiar groups from there.
Interesting tune, man. Don't know what to really say....Good recording, and I think it could be something cool. Not my normal thing, so....not real familiar with this style. I think the overall tune has a good concept, and would like to hear it as a finished product. Could wind up with a Cheryl Crow vibe, and I like that.

with the possible exception of the chorus effect on her voice. You have that problem with artists though; you have to find a way to present an inferior instrument as an interesting/integral part of the song. (ever heard ME sing?)
