If you’re looking for weird sounds, this is the place. Ghostly background singing, oddball percussion and left field orchestral elements haunt this appropriately-titled effort by the eccentric Brooklynite best known for working with My Brightest Diamond/Shara Worden. On his debut for Sufjan Stevens’ Asthmatic Kitty label (following the demos record “Ichabod and Apple”) Stith delivers a dozen songs built on folkie instrumentation, but shot through with all manner of weird ideas. When the musical mélange works, as on “Thanksgiving Moon,” the results can be positively heavenly -- like with most good psychedelic music. Not exactly filled with conventional pop hooks, but you can always turn on the radio for that, right?
