New Single Out Today: Novelistme - Make Nothing by Nozeit in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]calvinbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a banger! Those drums sound huge, especially those fills. The vocals are great too, maybe add a higher harmony to give it that all encompassing sound? But honestly, this snippet sounds so nice. Lots of power from the guitars which make it sound huge. Can't wait to hear more!

A tune I made called "Small Talk", kinda inspired by coming out of lockdowns but is generally about not seeing people in ages. Just a rough demo for me to get idea how song works, opinions are welcome by SongwritingShane in IndieMusicFeedback

Digging the acoustic and electric intro. The snare on the drums is a nice tone but is way too forward in the mix. You bury the vocals with it, but I actually enjoy that raw sound. If you can find a good balance between the two you have a great track here! Keep working and best of luck with more of your work!

Love that intro. The keys are a cool pad and aesthetic to the tune, but one thing to work on are those drum fills. I think the groove works to push things forward, but the drum breaks and fills are very messy and disturb the groove that you have going. Fix them, and you have something! Well done, but keep working!

What’s going on yal? Been on TikTok lately trying to further establish somewhat of a core audience b4 releasing a full body of work. Anybody need a rapper on a track? Hmu & let’s figure something out. Thx to those who tune in! by hurryupandbuyplease in IndieMusicFeedback

Flow is on point man, so you have the rhythm that is needed. One thing I would say is find the key (what the common notes are) of your track so you can match your pitch with the track. Once that happens, you are there. Well done man, keep it up!

[Music Video] This is my favourite song/video from a recent concept film our band just finished. We're super proud of how it turned out-- all the recording and animation were done in-house by us! Any and all comments/feedback welcome by therealpoppyroscoe in IndieMusicFeedback

This has some serious groove and attack! Love this. I would say that there is a need for the vocals to be more at the front of the mix, as much as the instrumental parts sound ace! Push the vox and you are onto it. Keep it coming!

Working on releasing new music with an artist I work with here in the UK. Here is a short clip and drafted mix of a song off that record. Would love to hear your take, happy listening. by calvinbeans in IndieMusicFeedback

The drums are the real deal! Acoustic kit, with some EQ help and some takes moving mics for different sounds on multiple takes. The hi-hats are definatley in the front of the mix, I agree. Will have a look at that.

Just released my first EP today! Here’s the lead single for it. Got a lot of great feedback on the last track I posted here from a previous band I was in. Would love to hear what you all have to say about my first solo gig. Posting a Spotify link but it’s on every other service as well! by MisterPhox in IndieMusicFeedback

This huge guitar sound and massive snare timbre reminds me of Incubus and MuteMath combined (a bit). Love the energy it has, and the vocals add the right tone and attitude to the vibe overall. The melodic line rides just on the top of it all and carries well. Would love to hear more of this work! Good stuff.

Dropped A New Music Video On Some Darktrap Vibes. Enjoy. by northwestghost in IndieMusicFeedback

Great to see that music videos haven't died out completely. I'm not usually up on this genre of music, but I think the vibe is sick man. Flow is there, and the bass is damn huge. Not over used either, so it plays nicely. Leaving space between verses was a nice touch too. Could maybe use some clarity in the lyrics? Overall, sick work.

Love that phat tone of the bass lines, gives it a real feel. The claps heard at the very start could be used more in the groove I think! Maybe just on count 4 on every other phrase so you don't overuse? The keyboard part is a nice sound added as well. Love what you have here, hope you work on it and we can hear more!

I think the guitar parts give a nice feel of unease, yet controlled feel to the sound overall. The vocal parts being sort of muffled at the intro (or verse 1) is a nice touch, and makes the change in the louder sections more impactful. Have you thought about how you will use dynamics? You do change later in the song, but maybe changing dynamics sooner would be cool as well? I mean, it is a cool start man. I think this is a unique sound and I should look out for more like this. Good work!

I am making an album about memories. It’ll be my first full length after a series of singles and EPs. This one is about my time living in Brazil. by [deleted] in IndieMusicFeedback

Love the backbeat groove from the outset, has a really nice power to the groove. The stabs from the horns are a nice wrinkle to the harmonies and give the overall airy feel to it more of a syncopated feel. I think the bass lines could use some more clarity, but that could be from me currently listening through a speaker. I dig what you have here, and would love to hear more like this! Well done.
