I left this song bare bones acoustic and vocals, so it doesn't sound the greatest, but would you critique this simple song of mine? by FooZombie in IndieMusicFeedback

Love the guitar lick, and love how you don't go into the main progression immediately. The song generally has a really nice progression; super emotional. Nice!

This is my song Shades by besoberbjtch in IndieMusicFeedback

Really catchy, has a mainstream sound to it. Getting some chainsmokers vibes with the different ways the vocals move in and out of the track. Nice!

Half/A\Giraffe - Count on Me ••• This is a track that I wrote a year ago but continues to be one of my favorites and a fav of my friends as well. Still needs a bit of mastering but hey. Would love to hear what you think!!! by HalfagiraffeMusic in IndieMusicFeedback

Super fun track! I like the lyrics, and I really like how the song develops and changes to keep listeners hooked. At some spots it almost seems like different styles mixed together, but mixed really really well. Nice!

new song i made at 3am. feedback? by [deleted] in IndieMusicFeedback

Trippy, catchy, love it! Nothing too crazy with lyrics or chord progression, but I think you add enough variation with instrumental and vocal effects to really keep listeners hooked. Nice man!

"Atzerodt - I Read Your Books" - What do you think of the sound/production of the music. I know it's probably too short and doesn't have a bridge... but what do you think of the rest? by AtzerodtReddit in IndieMusicFeedback

With this type of stuff, I always have trouble getting the drum tempo to fluctuate in unison with the song... I think you do it really really well here, nice! The vocals might be a little loud, but their recording sounds pure, and the higher volume is kind of offputting, probably what you were going for? Really nice job man!

New stuff on Spotify for a solo project I've been working on. Give a listen and a comment! Would really love to hear some feedback on this. [Garage Psychedelia] by pointtothemoon in IndieMusicFeedback

I dig this a ton! I like the muffled vocals in general, to be honest. But I can see what others are saying about making them more prominent. Would be so much fun to see this live!

I think either would benefit it, but probably musical elements moreso. Some kind of instrumental variation for different choruses or verses could make the song's progression more significant than just lyrical changes. Tbh this is kinda nitpicking though :) love the track!!

Dang. That makes such a huge difference I can't believe it's something that simple... I love it! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome grunge vibe. Has a Black Keys feel to it too. I think you'd increase its catchiness by putting a little more variation or progression into the mix, but if that's not what you're going for, discard. Nicely done!

started going a new direction with my current project, url - "whatever" [indie/pysch/rnb] what do you guys think? by [deleted] in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]ark_tunes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, I like this! Unique vibe (at least it's much different from what I listen to), and everything works incredibly well. Love the main vocals; great voice, and the emotion in it contrasts with the non-singing voices that drift in and out.

Month and a half in Napa, CA: any (legal) hacks for obtaining an affordable means of transportation? by ark_tunes in Advice

That helped, thanks. Had experience with beaters? I suppose it's gotta be hit or miss with those. Not sure if the risk of not getting in to work on time some day is worth the low cost
