Hammerhead Shark - ODH Creature fest

[ODH]

This one began life sometime last year as a random jazz track, only coming from the rhythm of the words Hammerhead Shark. It didn't get off the ground and I deleted the file.  Then when the Creaturefest came up I had another go around the buoy, as it were. Not a jazz track this time, although that's one of the few styles that doesn't make an appearance.

There is definitely a considerable amount of kitchen sink here.

Very 70s funky arrangement - really enjoyed that. Also dug the bit of Hammerhead Shark history in the breakdown.

Cool stuff!

Brilliant ! That guitar played through a filter (or auto-wah ?) gives an underwater vibe to the song. Most enjoyable !

You did throw in the kitchen sink on this one Nick and it worked wonderfully! The wah wah style guitar riffing throughout fits like a glove made of shark skin. It has a bit Reggae, some rock and some jazz and some?? The cool vocals and lyric keep the song grounded. Well done!

[StephenM]

once again major points for creativity!!!

the bass is major on this... so well recorded against the acoustic guitar and drums...
brilliant mix..

the guitars are simply so much fun!

vocals are perfect... this song rocks in a major way...wow

I think there must be a somekind of a fungus growing out of your kitchen sink. You probably ate it some before composing this one

The intro reminded me of the 70s cop shows, but then it went all bananas/Bahamas! There's a lot to enjoy here and even when things get weird it all stays together remarkably well.

Perhaps you'll be able to sell this as the theme song for a animated young adult programme called Hammerhead Sharks and Biology 101. It could become a long lasting series. Learn to read with Hammerhead Sharks etc.

A good one!

What a journey. So much going on... love it.

[Johnbee]

Yeah, I enjoy the guitar effect.  It does sound like it's underwater.  Also enjoy the vocal effect.  Very entertaining.

Very creative Nick. You have a real free spirit when it comes to writing music. This is a lot of fun and that is hard for a lot of people who write songs but it sounds second nature to you. Excellent.
