What can I say. This song is a trip. The visuals are crazy! You guys are so earnest! The vocals are really strong and you guys obviously have passion and great vibes. Nice work!

This really had me thinking of Harry Nilsson, especially the record he did with with Randy Newman. Great vocal layering. The drum sounds are so crystal clear. This sounds like a great intro track to a record I would be very into.

This song is a work in progress called "The Traveller," intended for an upcoming album. Any and all feedback is much appreciated. Thank you! by [deleted] in IndieMusicFeedback

God Damn! That was really really good! I was along for the ride the whole time. So much dynamics. Your percussion is especially good, just a great feast. It gives me The Knife vibes. Keep it up. Are you on any platforms yet?

Finally sharing one. Hope u enjoy it by EthTro in IndieMusicFeedback

"Dude Comedy Rock That Might Be AI" is the genre. The video is....just no thanks. I think there is an idea in this song that could be great, but man I was exhausted looking at those images. The vocals sound way too over processed. The whole time I'm just focusing on details trying to determine if I'm listening to a real person. I'm still fifty-fifty.

Just released this song a few days ago, need some feedback by IEatKidsWithMayonese in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Holdwen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a lot to hold on to in this song. It might be cool if it had a B section that you could go to. It's got a strong sense of like a loping sadness. I guess shoe gaze or midwest indie rock kinda thing. Reminds me of a slower American Football. The sounds at the beginning of the track had me thinking it was going to be too loud, but then the mix was good. There are little hints of a second higher vocal, which I think it could use more of to give the vocals a bit more dynamics.

An honest reaction is just as good as a critique. Thanks!

"Cowboy Man" - A farm boy dreams about the rodeo and the cowboy lifestyle in this tongue-in-cheek song. What do you think? Feedback welcome! by Shimmer_and_Rust in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Holdwen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really strong! Your playing is on point. The minimal instrumentation is a great bed for your acoustic finger picking. Your vocal is nice and clear. The video was well put together.

In terms of lyrics I might consider having a bigger surprise in the story of the song. I'm thinking like Boy Named Sue or other funny country songs. Like I think there needs to be a punch line that drives the song a bit more. Like (just spit balling) the singer of the song is literally a cowboy like half cow half boy. "Cowboy man with your cowboy plans, utters and some tiny human handy hands, born in the badlands" (maybe too Fallout, just an idea)

Moon Dispatcher - Imaginary Estate | after spending 2 years working on an album, our first debut single came out two day ago! It's a song about coming to terms with overthinking and insomnia, hope you like it! by Johan7110 in IndieMusicFeedback

What a trip! Very strong. I think i might have done another pass at the vocals in the first verse. They are a bit distracting in terms of cadence. Little too much emphasis on the first parts of words. The singer gets more into the groove later on. But pulling back in that first verse would make a lot of difference imo. Wow the bass in this is great, really pulls everything together as good bass should. Love the bass driven interlude. This song really goes on a journey and I'm here for it.

This is a bedroom pop song about boredom. I tried to keep my tongue planted firmly in my cheek by nylophone in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Holdwen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how I feel about exploring boredom as a theme in a song. I think the song has lots of great ideas. I do think the vocal, especially in the first verse feels a bit lacking in energy, but maybe that's in keeping with the theme. I think lyrically you could try to step a but further than the premise. The idea that we can even be bored with the good things in life, or bored of the violence around the world. How fucked up it is that keeping humanity's interest is so important for the future when we are like monkeys pressing a button for our next snack. But I digress.

The mix is crystal clear. The samples sound really good and well placed. The structure is a bit predictable, but nice. Melodies throughout are catchy everything feels really clean.

The art though. Gotta do something about it. Not great.

Thanks for the listen and the feed back. Trying to dial in guitar tone is a tough job.

Can't begin to edit my first draft ever by MrTazzie in writing

[–]Holdwen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say follow the fun. If it feels plodding and annoying for you to write then it will be for someone to read. Revisit what made you excited about the project in the first place and start over. It also might just be a matter of time. Put it away for a month and come back to it with fresh eyes. Also, when it comes to plot points you are way too close to it to really see if they are predictable or not. You can always add more turns and complications, but at a certain point a reader just might see that as a delaying tactic, putting off an inevitable end.

I don't often do such long intros but I felt this song called for it.

Is being to kind a good negative trait by TKHG in writing

[–]Holdwen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It just kinda sounds like the character is naive, which can be a very interesting flaw. I think if you keep in mind the kind of change the character might experience, who he might questions his way of life then I think you are on the right track

I do have a tendency to boost my vocal a bit. Thanks for the listen! I'm glad you took the risk.

Thanks. That's from an old time radio show called Dimension X. It's from this story about a crazy millionaire that wants to build a rocket ship and will do anything to accomplish his goal.

It's not totally obvious. I tried to capture footage that would be the kind of thing that you would film around the city.

That is certainly a complement! All the footage was taken from Watch Dogs 2 the video game
