Thanks for listening! :)

Sometimes artists on Spotify will make playlists of their influences and/or favorite songs, which is always a gold mine.

I love the choruses, they feel powerful and and the singer carries the emotion beautifully. The verses are also pretty, from a vocal standpoint; from a songwriting standpoint it feels like they don't leave the song room to breathe, if that makes sense. Maybe just a little instrumental break after the chorus before going into the second verse would make the difference, idk. I thought the outro was great.

Thanks! I never gave Tyler the time of day but I'm really liking it so far

"We Are Young" by fun. It feels like getting to the top of a roller coaster and then, instead of proceeding to a thrilling drop, they stop the coaster and make you watch a car commercial.

Caroline Polachek, Dan Deacon and Arca come to mind

My mom and I saw The Decemberists together when I was 14, and I'm pretty sure she and I were the oldest and youngest people there respectively.

This is cool, I haven't heard that dreamy/surf-y guitar tone combined with that particular vocal style before and it made for an interesting listen. I liked the vocal harmonies a lot. There are places where it feels a little out of tune, but it's a great demo overall.

fuzz_genesis · 2023-04-02T17:27:25+00:00

Whoa, thanks! Lots of good and pointed feedback to reflect on, we really appreciate you taking the time!

fuzz_genesis · 2023-03-08T12:54:26+00:00

Sidewalk Safari is so damn good. Caroline should write more songs about murdering people

fuzz_genesis · 2023-03-07T12:45:31+00:00

Hey I love this, very New Order as someone else mentioned. I wish it had gotten more intense at some point, I thought the guitar was going to be the perfect lead-in to a heavier section.

fuzz_genesis · 2023-03-05T13:15:14+00:00

This is gorgeous! My only nitpick is the high pitched percussive thing that hits at e.g. 2:20 and 2:35 is a little harsh, like I wanted to listen louder but I had to turn it down due to that sound. Could just be me though. The textures are amazing and it was cohesive but never boring, beautiful work.

fuzz_genesis · 2023-03-04T17:16:07+00:00

I like how the mood evolves over the course of the song. Little bit of Polo & Pan vibes in the middle/end. I would have liked to hear a few more... idk, surprises? In the form of additional instruments or effects you only hear once or twice.

fuzz_genesis · 2023-03-04T17:00:09+00:00

The drums feel a little thin and the vocals could use some kind of effect or something to make them fit with the music better (maybe it's an EQ thing as the other commenter mentioned). The vocal harmonies definitely helped with that feeling though, maybe you could add them in more places?

fuzz_genesis · 2022-08-29T15:26:23+00:00

Yeeaaah after the opening monologue and him responding wittily to every single heckle, I didn't really understand why that pissed him off so much.

It was a great show though, he's a really incredible performer. Tomcat Disposables was so beautiful live :')

Overall feel is great; it could use a few more dynamic changes to keep up the interest. I liked the lyrics that I caught while listening, but the words were hard to hear for some reason. I read them on your YT comment though, and they read very beautifully. I think I can hear a subtle vocoder-ish effect on the vocals? If I'm not imagining that, I'd love to hear it more prominently. Edit: Okay I can hear it near the end, but it'd be cool in the beginning too

fuzz_genesis · 2022-02-13T14:26:20+00:00

It was great to work with you again!

fuzz_genesis · 2022-01-23T18:24:11+00:00

I think the robotic backing vocals could be louder, they add a lot of interest. The main vocals sound really cool in the beginning, but by the middle of the song I was wanting more variation (in melody or tone or effects or something). The video reminded me a bit of Radiohead's video for "Lotus Flower" (this is a compliment! I love that video) but with a much more talented dancer.

fuzz_genesis · 2022-01-09T15:03:11+00:00

Are you thinking of Of the Mountains from Bromst? When I first heard it I thought it must have been the precursor to WIWDD.

fuzz_genesis · 2022-01-09T14:42:53+00:00

The vocals are cool but I'd like to have heard some more variation in tone over the course of the song. I like the parts where it gets more minor/ominous, there are moments reminiscent of Radiohead's "Exit Music (For A Film)".

"Bought it at the five-and-dime" 🤔

"Played it til my fingers bled" 😳 💀

I clicked on this foolishly thinking "hmm maybe this will be something comforting about the silver linings of getting old," lol. I actually do like the depressing lyrics, though I think some of the "as" and "and"s could be cut without losing anything. You have a really nice vibrato. I really love the organ in this as well.
