New album of 16 energizing surf adventures "Insane Knot Tie Soars" by Insanitizers.
The melody guitar uses echoes and reverbs without distortion or overdrive.

Some tracks are:

Track 1 Bold Renegade. This song envisions a horse-riding hero wielding sword and whip. Reflecting its title, it starts and ends with triple slashes. During the bridge are guitar whiplashes you may need headphones to hear. Speedy times.

Track 2 Dazzled. Funky surf. Part of the lead is with a growling bass twangy bass.

Track 3 Twang Shake. The entire lead is played on one twangy guitar.

Track 6 The Lost Rescue. New version of our most listened-to recording on streaming platforms.

Track 7 Dance Like a Robot. Up-and-down glissandos.

Track 8 A Day in Tokyo. Inspired by Yazora No Hoshi but different.

Track 9 A Night in Vienna. Sequential complementary polka, march, and surf themes.

Track 10 The Space Force. Three different melody tones follow military percussion.

Track 11 Jaws on Bald Mountain. Across the mountain, tied onto the back of a horse, at midnight, defenseless.

Track 12 Love in Purgatory. Harpsichord lead then echoey guitar.

Track 16 Waterboard. Beyond sanity. Splashy menace alternates with surf theme. Hold your breath...
