Summon the Drain Demons

[StephenM]

warning this might be a little nasty because i got the idea to make this song in the shower today when I had to clean the drain out afterwards which I have to do about once every few months...it's a nasty job and this song has some great sounds...but...

Acoustic guitar ( one stereo track)... electric guitar one mono track...bass..
drums (one stereo track)
2 stereo "vocal" tracks

all recorded and mixed on the Zoom R24 with on board reverb and electric guitar using the Boss ME-25 (and bass)
drums alesis Nitro, zoom on board condenser mics for vocals and acoustic guitar

[StephenM]

If anyone wants to write some better lyrics and do vocals or add other stuff...here is an instrumental track that has not been mastered...it's about 3 minutes long...and as with any of my stuff feel free to do whatever...

I love this Stephen, has a great indie rock sound..like Nirvana or something from the 90's , but also a prog rock sound.
I think the music is excellent. Love the guitars and drums, bass is good too. And I really like the vocals you've made up ..the talkie bits are really clever and I don't think you should change it. Be interesting to see if anyone adds something to it.

Yes I like it
The track is very creative and the soundscape is full but not cluttered.
The vocal bits are lovely and the groove is killer

[Jarle]

I can't see any reason to add anything to this. I like it as it is.

I am in LOOOVE with that bass sound!!! It's awesome! Really love the way it grunges this along, and the whole atmosphere of the track is wonderful, some fab sounds in there. It's really well recorded and mixed, the power of that bass sound drives through but doesn't overwhelm.

I can't really make out the vocals (I am having to listen without my hearing aids, which are playing up right now), but they sound like a bit of a mad trip, I did make out something to do with the cost of plumbers....?

Very cool sounds and a very cool track!

Strange and menacing. In a good way. There's a great & hefty groove going on, and the backwards-sounding guitar is very trippy. Yeah - it's a nasty job, but someone always has to do it. I like the demons you summoned :-)

Nigel, there is a reason I am not going to post the lyrics...oh my goodness....the whole thing is quite bad... but I kind of like the madness of it...kind of like me muttering under my breath most of the time at work now...I am officially a grumpy old man...at least part time...

I got 90s indie rock flashbacks from hearing this. The weird chattering noises all around, the acoustic guitar, the distorted bass. There's much to like. The song title is also a win! Like they say "Song title is half of the victory" (or something like that)
