ClassiCal – Sefirah EP
Very soothing.
Great sound, tasteful use of effects. I really enjoy the mix of found
sound and composed music. I think Kill Em With Kindness is my
favorite track. I love that water sample and the way you utilized it.
Dick Reynolds – Record Time Shizz
Interesting
collection of songs. I wish the vocals were higher in the mix, they
sound good. Those To Come strikes me the most. It's playful,
relaxing, and the melody lines in the guitar and whistling are
fantastic. The whole thing has a shoegaze vibe which is cool.
F.E.A.R. - Why
Damn, entropy
pumps like a motherfucker. It's pretty cool in this context. I really
like the end of entropy, gets strange. Psych is nonstop crazy. I
think I like the sounds used in recluse the best. Nice continuation
of your last RT.
Kevin Lee Todd – Magnus Ociel
Marcello
As everyone has
said, very impressive overall. I believe I said last time that I
really enjoy your voice. Reminds me of Maps & Atlases a bit, tons
of character. The mix on this RT seems way stronger than your last.
The balance is great and there are a lot of textures that pop out at
me. Zombie may be my favorite track. The percussive clicks in that
are delightful. Great cover too, did you make that?
Kris Eckman – Burl's Great NoNo
Another heavy,
weird album. I think the double tracking on the guitars really adds a
lot to your sound. Your riffs and playing seem a lot stronger too.
Jimmy Dean is the standout track for me. Nice groove goin on. Good
choice switching up the vibe so much on the last track. I like the
distorting drums and having the guitars still there but low in the
mix to let the synths shine. This one was a real leap forward. Can't
wait to hear what you come up with next.
Paul Marquissee – Favorite Place
A departure for
Paul. I was pretty excited to listen to this. Nice mix, good
arrangement, very pleasant overall. I like the expansion of sound in
the bridge. Great job Paul, especially since this isn't necessarily
your comfort zone.
Aaron Webster – Snails
Aaron and I have
already talked about this track. I know he wanted to do more, but I
really enjoy this song. Even more so than what he did last RT.
There's some really fun stuff going on compositionally. I love the
last 10-20 seconds of this track. Nice chord progression, creative
drum parts, and as this was done in FL a lot of midi work. Thumbs up.
Thanks for the review, Logan. Very flattering. And yes, I did make the cover, although it's more an amalgam of a bunch of different images I stole (the owl being the only image I actually designed), great photoshop pains were taken to get it all to fit together.
