Demo Tape by Haysi Fantayzee is a delightful album that showcases the band's unique blend of new wave, pop, and world music. The album features a collection of nine tracks that are catchy, upbeat, and highly danceable.
The opening track "Sabres of Paradise" sets the tone for the rest of the album with its infectious rhythm and playful lyrics. Other standout tracks include "Shiny Shiny," which features a driving beat and an irresistible chorus, and "Holy Joe," which mixes Eastern influences with a funky bassline.
Throughout the album, lead singer Kate Garner's vocals are a highlight, effortlessly switching between spoken word and singing. The band's use of various instruments, including bongos, sitars, and synthesizers, adds to the eclectic sound.
