Wow - I was expecting this - wouldn't play this alone on a dark night!

You know I quite like the groove and the guitar

Is that spooky female vocals as well - and 'Abominable' is ace

You know I am being really honest here but I don't really know what else to say here  ;)

Thanks Kafla, I did the guitar in one long take so each part would come out a bit different - I never seem to get the same harmonics twice :-)
Mrs GTB thinks I should write another version from the girls point of view to go with this.  Can you imagine that? me writing a song about about how women think when they are being watched by a peeping Tom snowman - come to think of it....

Oh yes, an entire concept album, i think!! Would be amazing!!!

Out of interest, with all that distortion added, what are you vocal caveats?

Crazycool lyric writing and sound...a "bit" sinister is the understatement of the year!!

Good luck with getting the next John Lewis xmas ad!  ;D  ;D

I know it's too late for the Christmas competition, but hope it makes someone smile anyway

That chorus is ace!
Your vocalist sounds like Bon Scott when he lets rip particularly on the last chorus. Love the semitone rises? they really add tension.

Warning but I'm gonna swear.

That chorus is f'ing awesome!

Insane!

Cheers HomelessR, my singer (Lee) will be really chuffed you compared him to Bon Scott (we are not worthy!)
There are a lot of close intervals in there and he did struggle to find the vocal melody line at first, I just keep getting drawn to weird chords and scales :-)

Hey, this is super cool.

It has like a Nirvana or even Pixies thing going on. It is 'silly' and 'disposable' in the way that the best garage rock from that era is. Cobain used to play on that with purposefully bad rhymes and a performative vocal style, wondering if it might work for you here?
