Here's another one I finished off this weekend. 'It's a bit more rhythmic than the last ones. Let me know what you guys think...  :)

https://soundcloud.com/tom-hackwell/house-of-mirrors

This is information for the record
Spun too long now needle scratches metal
Definitely going to be unspecific
Make a point well within the limits

Don't bang our heads together
Cause you are me but I'm not you

Pull that thorn from deep inside your heel
You lost yourself some time ago
Breaking down
Now blame it on something else (of course)

Don't bang our heads together
Cause you are me but I'm not you
This is a sign for you

Is this news?

Love the vocals and the general feel of the tune! Reminds me of some of the edgier american stuff during the nineties. Loads of thought in the arrangement as well.

Wow, from the start I can tell this is well produced and mixed. Love the extra elements and effects you've added, all flows and works right if you ask me. Good singing, and a lovely chorus  :) the rhodesey/harp (?) instrument that comes in at 2:27, wonderful addition.

I can't think of anything I don't like about this. Good stuff. Nice lyrics too.  :)

Hi Thackwell,

Great atmosphere. Loving the vocal. Interesting sounds - reminds me of the way Gomez experiment on some of their songs (especially the early stuff). The organ that comes in at 2.30 is awesome. Excellent production. Totally my kind of thing.

Cheers guys! Digger, that solo took about 4 hours to do properly and the section must have looped round 1000 times before it was acceptable!

Musically very good! There are lots of subtle touches the vocal harmonies are great. The tremolo effect at 1:08 and slide guitar harmonies around 3:04 are great. The psychedelic organ sound at 2:30 is good to.
I don’t understand any of the lyrics but strangely I don’t really care on this track I think they work . I think the key is in the line  “Definitely going to be unspecific”  so job done !!!
