Sounds Like: Lonely pathways with light at the end of the road (or river), laid down mostly with acoustic and electric guitars and cheap effects, with dollups here and there of keyboards, household objects, percussion, recorder, found sounds, and random events. Not too polished. Some "paint thrown at the canvas" accusations may be forthcoming and will be happily acknowledged.
