Riptide

Really proud of this one. This week's tune was a collaboration between me and my bestie, theaeon.
We used to live and jam in the same town but he recently moved to Chicago. This weekend he happened to be back in town for a couple days so I figured we could do a weekly beat together as opposed to just a guest spot/solo thing like he's done a couple times in the past.
This song was a true collaboration, about a 50/50 mix writing both lyrics and instrumentation. We went really hard on this one, with a total of about 24 hours working time start to finish. When he arrived Friday afternoon I had 4 lines of lyrics and two chord progressions, and by the end of the day we had the song mostly fleshed out. Saturday was tracking and tweaking and a rough mix, followed by final mixing and polishing this morning.
I think this one turned out really well. We have written an EP and album in the past and this 2-day song stands up pretty well against anything we've ever done. Sometimes it just comes together like that I guess.
theaeon: bass, keyboards, lead guitars, main vocals
blighters rock: drums, rhythm guitars, harmony vocals
