Ad Hoc is the second album by the band, and from the opening guttural wail in the first track Take It Over, it is evident that unpredictability is a theme. Sinister choir backs the track, evoking a spaghetti western with our hero in peril. Tracks like Angel of Death Donut Shop, Volcano Girls, and Death Was an Olympic Speedskater all highlight the vast spread of Marquards influences, carrying the listener through his mind. Marquards raw voice and sometimes silly lyrics overlay the cacophony of sound that borrows from all over the world, mirroring popular Indian music, classic gospel, Italian film soundtracks, and international rhythms. Somehow, Spiritual Warfare and the Greasy Shadows keep it accessible. Perhaps its due to Marquards keen ability to deftly create every sound that is heard, eschewing sampling in favor of generating the melodies, beats, and sounds organically. His ability to conjure gives the sometimes dark subject matter a lightness and whimsy not common in music today. Underlying it all is a genuine punk attitude, meshing the dissonance in ways that echo throughout the album.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA1. Take It Over\r A2. Angel of Death Donut Shop\r A3.
