I really like the stripped-down approach here, and also the samba-adjacent feel to the rhythm. Nicely done!

Oh man, I feel so at home, when I listen to this track. It is exactly my world of independent music I love to listen my whole life long. This is so good. I would place your LP directly between Bon Iver and the Silverjews. I am sorry for the latency problem. It would have been a nice touch to double the guitar.

Oof the guitar strums and the bass sound so comforting with your vocals.  Love Sufjan & Bon Iver and def can hear that influence in your music.  "Confide in only a a song" hits me right in da feels Hope the latency doesn't bother ya next week this was a calming song to reset my mind.  Thank you

The dissonant bite in that main chord is doing wonders for the heart-tugging vibe of the track. I'm also digging the hammered eighth-note texture you settled on here - it's simple and powerful, and it shifts the focus to the dynamic swells and lulls in the strumming that you pull off so smoothly. Awesome work!

oh man. I feel you on the struggles of double recording that rhythm and would have wanted the same for this tune. I've seen some people duplicate the track and nudge it a few ms off to get that effect. Your vocals are so good. Love the whole vibe of this one, well done!

another strong contender for Cursory's Greatest Hits, Vol. 1! just a gorgeous song.
i'm a fan of both of the songs you referenced in the description, and a sucker for sad downstroke 8th note songs and this hits just right. i might be projecting or reading into the lyrics, but they really speak to me as i try and process all of the political tension i'm feeling leading up to the Nov. election. so much hate and cruelty on display. it helps to find pockets of calm & comfort that radiate out from your music.
thank you

I get the struggle with getting latency compensated well enough. It's a brittle thing in DAWs. I landed on a really good setup with Ableton Live and an RME UFX II audio interface. Allows me sub-5ms roundtrip latency, I just gotta be careful about the plugins I add that have extra.

In your case, the forced simplicity of the arrangement brings out the magic. The lyrics somewhat more cryptic than usual, but I dig the mood. Wonderful.
