Studio was occupied most of the night, so I wrote this one in an easy chair. Kept it very simple, but it's missing vocals, which I have a topline in mind that I tossed on a voice memo but not here.
This one starts very quiet but does not stay that way... Did full tracking for the guitars and bass, as looping would have made it hella boring. Getting those performance nuances makes it work.
Thought experiment - can you do slowcore with a swing? Ehhhhhhh kind of seems not, it quickly turns into something else. Anyway this dream pop rock thing is what I came up with.
And now for something COMPLETELY different! A little 80's style electro rap. Wanted to give the style a whirl, I'm thinking of doing a DAWless et in the style. Super fun stuff, I was digging it!
No one can ever understand inspiration, least of all me. This is a good one.
