Instrumental band demo, I was the lead guitar player(and wrote all the material). Stopped with the group because our singer had a unacceptably heavy dutch accent and they wanted to fuck around to much.
Pretty basic funky soul stuff with a improvised solo near the end that imho starts out good but then gets a bit wonky.

Not really into noise rock, but you've got a pretty neat sound and energy. In all honesty i think there isnt enough structure in it for most people to take it seriously enough.

Your singing is pretty flat alot of the times and instrumentally it sounds a bit cluttered with ideas. Production wise it sounds very decent though.
Also you shouldnt try and preemptivaly soften people's criticism by telling them you did not study music formally. it either is good or it is not. And there's al lot of stuff in your music people will not respond to kindly. The tempo is pretty fast voor the vibe you are trying to create and you are using a lot of "happy" major chords on keys while the other stuff is going towords a more jagged serious vibe and it is kind of clashing.
Jason Brooks
fuck thats heavy
Leo Sanders

The strobe-like video and the white noise is kinda off putting to me personaly and it sounds a bit like vampires would listen to in the Blade-movies. But i can tell you have some good ideas about sound, vibe and actual song structure, personally i would emphasize that more and not "attack" the listeren as much with dissonance.
just my two cents
Hudson Cook
Was in Zombie Death Stench for about 7 years. Quit a few days ago. Just done with everything and tired of "trying to make it." Fun while it lasted.
One of the songs I wrote. Dumb as fuck but was fun to play.
Juan Nguyen
>it sounds a bit like vampires would listen to in the Blade-movies
You do not know what you are talking about and probably never listened to Loveless.
Landon Cooper
I really like your sound, lyrics and vocal melodies.
But the vocals lack some confidence/power and some of the instrumental parts sound just a tad to simplistic to really sell it.
Landon Moore
I don't know about you, but personally it seems pretty ridiculous to compare you're mediocre bandcamp band to loveless.
Owen Nguyen
I do know what i'm talking about because i gave a subjective opinion about a subjective art form.
I dont have to be a My bloody Valentine fan to give my opinion about different music that is in the same genre of general sound. And if you have this much trouble handeling negative feedback then i would advise you to quit music because you're gonna have a bad time...
Nathaniel Wilson
This sounds like what gay sparkly vampires would listen to while fucking each other in the butt.
Ethan Murphy
It reminds me alot of "a pillow of winds" by Pink floyd(not a bad thing really), but the percussive stuff don't really add much in their current form and in some parts you seem to be slightly fluctuating the tempo and it doenst sound deliberate.
Grayson Scott
Funny, I had someone compare it to Goodbye Blue Sky by Floyd as well. I guess they're still lingering in my subconscious from high school...
And yeah, the percussion is definitely a bit off beat in parts. Been meaning to go back and fix it if not just remove it all together. Anyways, thanks for the feedback!

Wyatt Walker

This is just my opinion and i'm not a huge fan of this type of music. My opinion is free so it is worth what you deem it, but there does not seem to be a song in this. It's got lyrics, on-keys vocal, some cool tape-delay sounds and ideas. It even sounds very professional but there is not enough cohesion in it to make it work. I'm not saying it should be more like abba, but even sigur ros and bands like Master Musicians of Bukakke have a sort of innate red through line or logical structure which this song does not.

Tasty beat. Very full sounding production. I particularly enjoyed the rhythm changes towards the end. I wasn't getting very much development through the middle but since it's meant for the dance floor that's kind of a moot point.
Oh shit! Really digging this. What's the ratio of samples to original instrumentation? Only complaint is that build at the end seemed a little anticlimactic. Curious how this sounds in the album context.
This is really pretty. You have a very comfy voice. Would like to hear some drums rippin up the kit under that middle section. I'mma check out that mega you posted once I'm home from work.
That first line was really clever. Some good bars with solid word play. The flow is a little off in a couple spots but it isn't too noticeable.
Not your best work, Noah. Sorry.
The guitars are only in the left speaker, and the drums could be a bit busier, maybe some fills like at the very end, during that last section, but you've got a really good idea. Keep working at it, fammajamma.
I think you might have a bit to much bass on the guitar's eq. Nice song, very sad and the artwork is very fitting.
I'm curious what you'll do with it. I see potential. The guitar line kinda drones on a little too much but if you add more instrumentation ot could be fine.
Really pretty compositions. Those unfinished tracks sound very promising. Are you interested in physical instrumentation of are you going to stick with the midi aesthetic?
That rapid panning is fucking with me in the best way. Not sure how I feel about the xylophone, but that's really my only complaint.
Do you have a band camp or sound cloud you could link me?
You figured out MBV and have a good song under the wall but I think that riff could be more interesting. Will check out the bamd camp page.

It's psychedelic jam music so i'm not going to make a point about structure. But even in jam-music there has to be a sort of dynamic to keep the listener interested. Whether that means: loud to soft, gentle to aggressive, angular to ethereal, fast to slow etc. is up to you to decide. At the moment it sound like a bunch of disconnected solo's that do not try to engage the listener,
I think the most important question a musician should ask themselves is: would i want to listen to this?
Aaron Wood
Thanks for taking the time to listen I appreciate it. As for the structure of the song I tried making it linear and evolving. I feel it makes more sense in the context of the album. I don't understand what you mean by structure because this song has 3 parts. I assume you mean having a chorus or a musical idea that is referenced again in the piece. If you're asking me where's the chorus that would be the point of the song.
Logan Rivera
I'm a big fan of funky synths so i digged those parts, i think the more abrasive high pitched rythmic stuff can grow to annoy people pretty fast though. And for me personally the tempo is a bit to fast to really enjoy it, but it is not bad imho.

Oh, that mega link I replied to wasn't by me. That was an album by the notorious memer Aaron Ellis.
Thanks for the kind words though!
Dominic Evans
My point about the structure is more that, to me( again, i'm just one dude) the 3 parts do not add up logically. There is lot's of music that does not follow standardized ideas about music that does work. It has three parts but to me they do not seem to complement eachother, making it sound a bit schizophrenic. Which some people may say they find appealing, but in my opinion most of those people are trying to be edgy or trying to propagate that they have some sort of evolved taste in the arts.

Good sound and i like the ideas, I don't know if you played the instruments youself, sampled stuff or it was made in an open jam. But the first half it does sound like every instrument is busy doing its own thing. I like to jam with no "rules" myself but when nobodys playing off of eachother or doing their own thing the end result usually ends u being very meandering. But hey, thats just my opinion.
Owen Bennett
well i happen to be schizophrenic lol. but fair enough I see you point. It's a matter of taste. Different emotional states and life experiences make different things pleasing or logical to us. I don't understand how a piece of art can have a logical anything as it's primarily an emotional experience. This convo actually gave me an idea so thank you! I am going to set out to make the most illogical piece of music I can. I'm thinking going from harsh noise to baroque pop chorus to a piano sonata ending it off with a doo wop outro

No but serious though cool that you already have got something going. And you are capabel musicians but to me it does sound a bit like you guys mix and match styles a bit gimmicky and its often not really complementing eachother. Take my comment with a pinch of salt though because i have had zero succes with my music.

some melodies are very likable
Carson Smith
I agree with you that is a matter of taste influenced bij an individuals life and that music is just a emotional reaction. I looked at it from a perspective of commercial acceptance though and unless you taste are pretty close to the norm(Like mine if i'm honest) than it is hard to expect people to like you music to an extent from which you will make real money from it. If that is not a motive you hve with you music then more power to you.
Charles Gonzalez

Mason Scott
I mean the residents made a living off it and had physical back in 74. I don't really care about making a living off it all I care about is being the greatest of all time ever. I accept I'm never going to be the next katy perry but my hopes are there are people out there respecting music as an artform and if i distinguish myself enough and prove myself to be talented giving significant contributions to the craft then people will support me. Or most likely have a dishwashing/ janitorial position for the rest of my life. But it's too late to turn back now as I've already accepted the risk and sacrifice anything i feel is in the way of becoming the artist i want to be. My life is an extension of my music. who knows, we'll see but I promise to keep going on mu if I ever be a hotshot

The solo wasn't that bad, a little too much down time when it was getting going but still fine. Sorry to hear about your band.
That explains why it's gone and why the name seemed familiar.
This SoundCloud post could be multiple tracks I think. Getting some McLusky vibes. I'd go to your show at a tiny, hole in the wall style venue.
I think your lyrics and vocal line could use some work but I'm really digging the production amd overal sound. Keep learning, dude.
Listened to Love2each. You've got a solid unserstanding of flow and the song seemed the perfect length for the amount of ideas used. Maybe it could have been more dynamic, or have a bit more melody than that main vocal sample.
Not sure why I was surprised it was metal. If you got the lead guitar closer and the drums further away you'd be pretty set for a raw demo. This is really heavy, you should get something really sick out of it.
This could bang in the whip. Keep us posted because I'm pretty hyped for that drop.
Very well written. You've got a good sound. The vocals seem a little weak and the synth over the top feels a tad out of place. Good stuff over all.
The vocalist could use some work and the production isn't too clear on the rhythm guitar and bass. Sing isn't bad though and has some good solos. Would be fun sing to play.
This grooves really hard. I'm enjoying your guitar tone especially. Very nicely produced.
Really cool, strong sense of aesthetic. The parts of over lap seemed a little dense and the strings kind of drowned out the other parts a bit. Very good piece.
Really pretty and relaxing. I hope you can get the crescendoes to be monumental with some drums.

Just when I was getting board that second guitar came in amd saved the track. I'd suggest bringing it in before the second verse and then having it sort of sprinkled about under the vocals. Fade outs are always disappointing. Still enjoyed it, keep it up.
First track is a nice song. Better recordinf quality could do a lot for it. Your vocals could use a little work but you put a lot of energy and passion into them that gives it charm. I enjoy the drum groove you posted. The last link is very fun. I think it could translate over to live instrumentation very well, just needs a less abrupt ending.
Not gonna lie, I was ready to cringe when I saw the cello, but you did an excellent job making it fit with the piece. The sing seemed a little un focused but that didn't really affect the enjoyment of it. I'm really triggered they had you play outside when it's cold enough to need a winter coat.
Sorry, I'm not going to download that on my phone just to hear it.
Seems kind of boring. Don't really know what to say.
Damn son, this is pretty dope. I'm really digging how much atmosohere there is and varied types of instrumentation. Do you have a band camp or SoundCloud you could link me?
Nice production, I'm assuming you would like someone to spit bars on top of this? I'm not sure if you're going for a polyrhythme with the sticks over the top of the middle piece, but even if you are it feels kinda awkward. Keep up the good work.
This is fucking adorable. Some of the group vocals could use a bit of work, and it's got all of the classic tropes but it's still a fun song.
Fuck, teach me. I was ready to quit at around 3 min when the bangers started to hit. This is really good. Do you have a band camp or SoundCloud?
