Probably gonna bestow my highest possible compliment upon you now - this sounds like Bowie. Especially your voice and especially in the first verse. This wouldn't be out of place on the Station to Station album.
There's something incredibly eery and strange about this and I like it. The drums in the intro are uneasy and love the backing in general. I'm not entirely convinced by the tape crackle or vinyl noise that crops up here and there. I am listening in headphones and found it a little distracting.
Well delivered vocals and sitting right for me volume-wise but found them a little toppy and maybe slightly reverb-y for me? I can't quite put my finger on it but would have preferred them more upfront.
Lyrics are ominous and cool. Overall this whole song is ominous and cool and I really enjoyed. There's an indie band called Foxygen and this reminds me of them. They may be worth checking out
Thanks for the constructive feedback
@jacksimmons Yeah that Bowie period was really something. I like good lyrics n because I don't grab at cliches I feel the need to put some effort into clear pronunciation.
I think this partly accounts for the Bowie sound. A heady but passionate vocal performance.
Ok, the vinyl crackle - I'm from a time when vinyl was necessary. Tapes are and have always been crap.
For me the crackle was there when I would take headphones, take time out to intentionally do nothing but listen to an album.
It seems that some folks find it distracting when it's artificially added these days.
I suppose in the future I should consider leaving it out.
I'm ok with the vocals here. I used my rode 1a mic. The acoustic treatment of my kitchen is nonexistent and would be unpractical. I want to get that famous podcast mic shure 7, ah the name? ... It's very popular and costs about 350 euro. I like the rode but it's difficult for me to get the sound right. Streamlining my workflow is a priotity for me, I don't want to become to techy because that comes with too high a price.
I'll check out Foxygen.
And BTW, I've enjoyed every song you've put out.
You seem to enjoy your creative skills and seem to be free of the desire to meet the usual dull expectations of the average listener. So rock on n God bless yer!
