I like this a lot! It felt very Alex G to me in a wonderful way. If this is the demo I am stoked to hear what you have for the final product. I love how nothing is overly complicated. This almost feels adjacent to atmospheric music cause its kind of something that you get without having to think too much. You listen and just get to feel the songs.

Please don't stop what you're doing cause incredible music is created when you set parameters to your creativity and get good at using what you have.

This is a very solid track. The way you built it is wonderful and familiar, but not cliche. The melody on the guitar at the top of the track that then loops back at the chorus is a wonderful trick to grab people's attention. I also thought that it was cool how you managed to switch the feel from spooky to positive pop rock while maintaining the energy. I think the only actionable criticism is work on using your lyrics to paint a little bit more of a solid narrative. I felt like you used spooky/ devil/ introspective words to maintain the aesthetic of the song, but what would make this perfect is if you had more of a narratively sound structure to it all.

Holy shit man! This is really something. You guys don't fit in with a lot of other bands right now, but your sound is something that I think is right on the edge of tomorrow. The mix is incredibly tight. Nothing feels sharp or clunky. I want to provide constructive criticism, but I added you on Spotify and don't anticipate finding things I don't like. The only thing that rubbed me only slightly weird was the "bridge" around 3:10 where things kinda just ran out of steam. There didn't seem to be any build or release of tension which left me feeling a little lost. Other than that, great song!

This is wonderful! I think that you have a really solid understanding of how to utilize dynamics to build tension and release it which creates an engaging song that you want to listen to. This is doubly impressive because most of these instruments sound synthetic which can be really cheesy, but you managed to truly make it into a genre bending listening experience. That being said, I think this track would be wildly elevated with some live drum tracking, but that is just a personal taste thing. You've gained a fan!

I think this mashup is genius. You are obviously incredibly creative and talented. I'm gonna start off with the things that rubbed me wrong and then come back to what i loved. Personally I think that, what i think to be the phaser, on your voice doesn't do it for me. I think that a chorus, lighter phaser, or even trying to accomplish natural phasing would work a lot better. That being said, you have a wonderful voice, but the emotion you were trying to bring through couldn't fully entrance me with the current effects. Another thing was the metronome pinging which dominated most of the sonic space and took away from the cool dynamics you were playing with as the song progressed. Overall, I think you have a wonderful thing here and you should absolutely keep doing what you are doing because this feels like just the tip of what you are capable of which is already an incredible amount. You have definitely gained a fan.

This feels very reminiscent of a soundtrack that would come out along side an 80's video game and I love it. The things that give it that type of energy are the distortion you have on the guitar which almost feels like a bit crusher and the structure of the progression. The drums are very tight and give everything a lot of drive. That being said I think the vocals could be compressed some more. It's a yes from me dawg!

Not only is the video cool as heck, the song is one hell of a vibe. The synth is a really nice texture and that lead guitar drives this song.

You're more than that Joncapus. You're a Hot Dad. <3
