Very cool! Love the buildup. Especially the contrast between the opening, the quiet part that follows and then the introduction of the drums and the guitar. There are also some subtle elements that I really like a lot, like the panned verby arp around 1.00 and near the end. Great work as aLways!

So happy to read what positive things the therapy is doing for you!

Love how those opening chords come in and then the guitar line lets go.  Every note change on that guitar sounds so good.  Such a hypnotic outro with those chords! This was a much needed shoegaze escape, thank you! Glad to hear therapy is helping too!

How much reverb is too much? Nah, there is no such thing...

I like the ambiance a lot, cool track.

I'd say mix works really well for shoegazy stuff - it feels like everything is blended together, a whole texture - and it does its job. I really enjoyed the bass slide

can almost hear a young Richard Ashcroft singing his heart out over this

Thanks, bud - this definitely was a different direction for me to go in, but I'm really excited about this and hope to try more things like this throughout the rest of the year. I appreciate you!

Thanks! To me it felt a bit like if Modest Mouse became a shoegaze band. Glad you liked it!

Thank you! Yeah, I had a lot of fun playing guitar on this one. I'd like to go back and build it out more, and I've got some ideas for additional guitar stuff I'd like to try. Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks! 100% serious, my normal reverb method is to immediately crank size and decay to maximum, and then take the decay back to about 90%, with wet/dry at roughly equal. I love a huge reverb!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. Bass was the first instrument I really personally learned (beyond things I was given to play as a kid), and so it's an old friend . When I don't have something better to play, I spice things up with lots of slides, and it sounds especially nice on the fretless!

Thanks, bud! Right back at you

I actually have been thinking about going back and adding some lyrics to this, I've got some ideas and I think it could go well. I may redo this for a future WB track!

Thanks! I'm not familiar, but I'll definitely check out out. Glad you enjoyed!

Another awesome song, man!
Lovely textures and space.

There's something evocative about the drums being so quiet. Like, it's almost like when someone's saying something interesting but you can't quite hear them. Makes you want to lean in to catch the details.

Thanks, bud! Yeah I feel like I was going for a messy tape-ish vibe, so it definitely helps that the drums are kinda crunchy and not super clear. Thanks for listening!

Nice wall of sunny noise here, very refreshing.

Yes! The weather has turned a major corner in the last week, and the sun has been doing wonders for me. I've been listening to this a bit in the car and just kinda singing lyrics over it, and the return of the sun (and lots of other emotionally related stuff) has been at the core of them. I'm really eager to revisit and flesh this out more. Thank you!

What a wonderful track. It really evolves throughout and you have weaved all the different sounds/sections together very well. I got super hooked at the beginning and love how you just let it fade out in the later parts. To me it feels like I've heard it before somehow, it sounds comforting. "Life goes on..."-kinda vibe. Favourited!

Oh wow, this was very much up my alley. I love these noisy but harmonious single take guitar tracks. Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely - you nailed it. Infinite possibilities could mean more pain, but could mean good things, too. Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks! Yeah I definitely want to do more shoegaze!
