love the zither! This really reminds me of the Magnetic Fields early stuff, I don't remember if any of that has a zither on it or I'm just getting that from the melodies and general vibe but I am definitely getting it! The more prominent of the percussive instruments (think it's the guiro being tapped?) is a Little Bit Much at times when it's being hit on every beat but otherwise the slight messiness of this adds to the vibe rather than losing anything I think, and the lyrics and vocals are great - love the a cappella ending.
