and i decided to put up a demo of one of the songs so people can give feedback. its folky kind of stuff, but its funny cuz this song is totally a standout like outcast from the rest of the fuzzed out dance rock on the ep. haha.
check it out.

I dig the singing a lot! Quite nonchalant and charming.
But you sure the song really needs a solo?
Cheers, M

thanks dude. not a fan of the solo?
haha i didnt plan on that at all, i was tracking and it just kinda came to me. its nothing fancy, but it adds kind of a cool country feel to it i think. i dig the solo. if it were too flashy i might have left it out.
thanks for the compliment!!!

I really like that. Tbh, hand claps are just amazing in almost any song.
Not sure about the very end of the solo tho, i like it up until then, but i don't feel it finishes well.

I just LOVE handclaps! About the solo: not that I dislike it - just felt it didn't really add very much.
Anyway, success with the EP!

Definately, i don't mind the solo in there, i just think it goes a little way ward towards the end thats all. I look forward to hearing a more complete version of the song

right on. the full version for the ep will feature a whole band kinda thing with drums bass and stuff. the claps are staying though.

I don't care for the solo much either. It would probably be good if it were a quick bars or two and then back but its a bit much like this. Otherwise a very cool song. Excellent vocals too.

thanks!!! you like the vocals? its almost my first time actually recording a song with me singing. i dont have much faith in myself as a singer.
SO THE SOLO SUCKS OKAY. haha. i didnt even mean to have a solo, im not a soloist as you can probably gther from that solo thingy.

It's good to hear that the hand claps are staying
. I think you should see how stripped back you can get it tho. I don't think theres to much wrong with it as it is, i'm sure it can be improved upon but i do like the basic sound to it.
And the vocals are good. Not technically brilliant but they definately have a character and charm.

I would like the solo more if you used the fuzzed out Jagmaster and then just held the last note until it died out.
It sounds cool, great start!
