Songbook features an array of musical genres. "Feel Good Track of Rosemead," opens with cheery synthesizers, followed by the live showstopper "Let's Be Honest," which showcases the enchanting back and forth chemistry between singers Vanessa Jeanne Long and Joseph Keefe. Joe combats Vanessa's sparkling choruses with more rugged verses in the nostalgic childhood tune, "Treehouse." "Stupidland" shifts gears as an up-tempo folk song, and "Putting Money" slows it down with its dark choruses. An EP favorite, "Summer Girl" is the heart of the album with its warm harmonies. The stripped down "Surprise" leads into the country-style tune, "No Good at Nothing" which highlights the sweetness of Vanessa's lead vocals. The catchy "Charlie Song" lightens the mood, which seamlessly segues into "Intervention (Staple Jeans)" and features complex harmonies about your favorite pair of worn out blue jeans. Vanessa takes the vocal lead in the haunting tale "I Played Drums on This," as well as in EP favorites "Castoff," a dreary love song showcasing Vanessa's sultrier side, and "Psyche or Like Scope" which shifts gears completely with its dark, synthy dance vibe. The album closes with the jovial folk tunes "Let's Go Down" and "Jamesy," a loose campfire-style sing-along the band recorded late one night with many close friends.
