Dead Confederate's new sound

Posted below is a video clip of Hardy Morris, singer and guitar player for Dead Confederate, playing two songs that just may be on the next DC album. Both songs are undeniably akin to the works of singer/songwriter Elliott Smith. Unsurprisingly, DC lists Elliott Smith as one of the band's key influences. These new songs evidence the fact that DC is shifting from the sound of Wrecking Ball; DC's scream grunge and 8 minute pysch songs may be a thing of the past. I expect the next album to be a more concise and consistent effort.
