Well it's been a minute, hasn't it?
Hope you guys are all doing ok.

me? meh, getting by. Some days are nice.

So I'm singing/ narrator but this guy is not me (most the time). I try to be a little more pleasant than this miserable character. I guess I wouldn't see my lady much if this guy came out often. Although he's in there... shows his butt ugly personality occasionally.

yuck. Go away sourpuss, we see enough of you on t.v.

Hope it doesn't suck too bad, I did it in 3 hours and haven't heard it on speakers yet! oh well, who cares, he's a sour guy.

Nice one Kenneth... very creative. Spoken bits are great and that baseline is killer. Very cool.

I really enjoyed this - I'm on my 2nd listen. I've put my headphones on and turned it up loud (I think the vocal is a bit low in the mix).

Indeed captivating.

I find it's always best to have a row in rhyme  :)

This is absolutely stellar. The stereo spread of the drums sounds huge, and that left channel riff is right on the money. Love the alternating spoken and let-it-rip vocals too. So well performed. What a great listen.

AndyR

Oh yes, love it.

Some folks saying "vocal quiet" - mebbe, but for me, the whole track sounds quiet.

But when I turn it up - oh crumbs....

Love the rhythm. The spoken and sung sections... oh wow... envious here, I can't do that...

Those backing vocals. The guitar sounds.

Multiple listens, just gets better and better...

This is SO good.

(Now I've got to turn the volume back down on my mixing desk or I'm gonna die!! The track had finished, and an email arrived while I was typing and I jumped out of my skin ;D ;D ;D)

Always cool stuff, driven along with that electro beat loving that guitar too, but what makes the track for me are the vocals understated and just threatening  enough to make it  interesting!

I'm afraid I rather like this guy. He is right up my street. Grungy, dirty riffs and a guitar sound that you could curdle cream with. And a really edgy, threatening attitude over a fantastic groove. Love the combo of spoken lyrics and sung stuff. Great dynamics in the arrangement and the mix as well.

Awesome stuff. Very cool indeed Mr Sourpuss  8)
