Sorry for the late reply. I've written up a reply twice now only to be called away from my computer etc. I really dig the Unknown Mortal Orchestra it's right up my alley. Great tones, cool melodies and music that I find very easy to listen to. I will say that I had a conversation with a friend recently wondering when the retro-drowning in reverb sound will pass, I'm not complaining because I love the sound but it seems that everything is like that these days. -You know? We have had an unusually harsh winter here in the South, I know Chicago probably has too but you are used to it. Anyways, when the first 65 degree day hits, I want to go for a drive and put that Tame Impala song on. -Perfect sunny day driving music imo. I'm torn as to how I feel about The Tallest Man on Earth. I respect the songwriting and the delivery but I don't enjoy the voice. I don't trust it for some reason, it seems intentionally effected. But hey, that's just like one mans opinion dude. The Bryan Ferry Orchestra is awesome!! Makes me want to visit a speakeasy or watch the Little Rascals. I need to give Gavin Castleton another listen. I enjoyed some of the ear candy in the mix, but don't recall more than that. I'll listen again. Lost Lander was my favorite of the bunch. I really like this song, topically and lyrically it hits home. It has some interesting percussion and vocal work. The video is cool too. I'm going to buy this album per your suggestion. Thank you! How are your classes going by the way? Hope all is well. You see this one? You should add some bass to it.
I tried recording something but ended up letting it sit. I think it might be too busy of a line. I don't know if I should add anything too complicated since so much is likely to be added on afterwards. Let me know if you have any opinions about that. No worries for not digging the guy's voice. It definitely takes some getting used to and your reaction is the same as a lot of other people I've showed him to. In his defense though, he's not the first to put on a funny accent when he sings. The name bob Dylan comes to mind.........
I'd love to hear anything you have regarding bass. If you would rather re-record, go for it. That said, having the bass line dictate what's to come isn't a bad thing.... Add some bass, I can't tell you how much joy it brings me to hear stuff added to these collaborative songs. Thanks again for the new music. Some gems there.In his defense though, he's not the first to put on a funny accent when he sings. The name bob Dylan comes to mind
Bob did it first and when I hear him, I believe him. There are plenty of singers that add affectation to their voice and I still love them, just wasn't the case here.
