Tosh means stone; the city was built of mud, and it fell down. Chorsu, Chilonzor, a white Damas built for eight carrying ten, money once counted by weight, and a clock on a split stone that nobody winds. Sung completely straight.
The City Named Stone

Style
Uzbek estrada and seventies studio-band pop fused with Ferghana-Tashkent maqom, 132 BPM over deep doira and low kick with offbeat claps; dutar and tanbur ostinato, gijjak, nay, surnay stabs and karnay blasts against fuzz guitar and combo organ, male and female leads alternating in accented English with melismatic phrasing.
