Let me preface this by saying I also really enjoyed your last song you posted here, Hearth.

Your guitar sounds amazing. It has excellent clarity. how did you record this? The drums are great too. It's such a simple beat but it fits so well. The synth work is also a really nice touch.

I like your work in general. It's very minimal as far as instruments and vocals go, but it's heart-felt and touching, and easy to listen to. You've got a good sense of music and how to build a song, and the right way to balance musical elements.

If you had a CD out, I'd buy it. If I had a record label, I'd sign you. You've got talent; keep going with it.

Hi. Nice to meet you & get a chance to listen to your work. I think it has a lot of potential. Keep going with this.

The timing of the guitar part is very slightly off. Subtle, but it drags ever so slightly on a couple of notes. The drums sound lo-fi at first, which I imagine was intentional, but when they pick up at 2:10 they sound cool. The drum sounds are fine with me. The trippy speaking vocals in the background are also very good. I feel that a little extra reverb would go a long way to make the vocals sound polished. You can keep the reverb subtle, so that it doesn't jut out as an unnatural effect. In general the vocal performance could be stronger. The vox never really gets big at all, just stays to the mellow, rough style it opens with. Sell it! Don't apologize for the nasal sound! The buzzy synth lead would also get a little reverb to add depth if I were producing this. You could really deepen the feel of this track by adding the right reverbs and delays. Structurally, I was also wanting it to get bigger at some point, which may be just a matter of personal preference, but I felt that you could have done something huge that really made the song. For example, you could just amp up all of the instruments, maybe throw some good ol' distorted guitar in there, and take the melody up a bit, and wail on it. It could be very intense, and it could take you off guard if placed at the right point. But again, that's my personal preference, there's nothing strictly wrong with keeping it minimalistic.

Nice job. Keep up the good work. :wave:

The guitar timing does throw me a bit in the beginning, but when everything else comes in it sounds fine. Pretty cool song, though

I dig it, reminds me of a friend of mine a little bit

I love the whispering in the background

for being so minimal this has a pretty deep and complex sound as the parts come into the mix

I love your voice

this is great great stuff
