Redneck 'n WaL*MART hatin'....

Sounds like you sneek over the border and go
to the WAL*MART in Rutland for inspiration ???

You cant go wrong with that material !!

Looking for feedback from anyone that cares to share!

Check the profile. I'm looking especially for what other bands and musicians have to say, but will be grateful for any feedback I can bet.

They are meant to be demo quality, so please keep that in mind.

Thanks.

Surprisingly, I really liked Fun at Wall Mart. Very hip. I am going back to hear it again.

Interesting, unique material.

The laid-back vocals remind me a bit of Cake, for some reason. I think it's that you don't put as much emphasis on the voice as you do the words, which come through loud & clear, with a distinctive humor all your own.

Like it in spite of myself. It might help for you to go for a larger than life production on some of it, though, to balance the voice. That would be really cool. Sort of a Cake meets Red Peters meets...I dunno...Demitri Martin?

Keep at it. Like your nic, too. It fits with what you do.

Thanks all. I really wasn't expecting this good a response at all.

There must be someone out there that hates my stuff, and isn't afraid to say so. Oh, and at least tell me why.

C'mon. I can take it!

Okay, well, back to Wally World. I listen to it often...I want my son to hear it if I can only get him to stop talking about Cloverfield. What I don't like about it is the vocals are , I don't know, a little low. They lack drama or something. More comments coming. Let the vocal stand alone. The voice is repeated in other instruments and it kind of waters it down. The voal and instrumental would be stronger if the instrumental is left in the background and the vocal in the foreground. It is like walking into a room where everything is one color. You want contrast. In other words, don't play the melody with the vocal.

Good production overall. Not too keen on various subject matter. No emotion on the vox. Sounds like your bored or something. You sound to me as if you have the talent. Sing it like you mean it or stick to kiddy material. (No offense or personal attack intended here my friend)

Another positive: You are out here doing it. Not just talking about it.
Thats where it all begins.

Usually lyrics are the last thing I pick up in music. Don’t take this the wrong way. But some of your stuff has incredible truth to it. Small talk for example. Now it’s done in a cutesy tongue in cheek way and I can’t help but smile when listening to most of it. If that’s the goal you hit it dead on.

In my opinion the insight you are using is wasted on the short versus and the simplicity of the melodies. It’s like satire of the real thing, you should be doing the real thing instead. Not about the skill level of musicians, just the arrangements. If there is a specific purpose for the music, like background for TV show or movie, then disregard this.

A musical commentary on life’s situations coming across in satirical form, this is what I get out of it, totally different from what I’m used to but different to me is synonymous to interesting, the timbre of your voice is well suited for the subject matter. If it’s satire you’re trying to project you’ve succeeded in my view, if your goal was to project something else then forgive me for the misread, none the less I found myself hooked on the lyrics and the unusual chord progressions while scratching my head with a smile.

At the risk of miscast you I’d say your music is ideal for a Cabaret act.
Good luck ,your music is unique, I was entertained by it.
