W02 UnInvited

Dang. Now I wanna try to make a full length trip hop album. This was really fun.

Check out my YouTube page if you wanna see the path i took trying to make this in a week.
Huge shout out to @ImpBox, @ViridianLoop, @Naught101 and @Morgan from the Discord #feedback section for helping me make this less sucky.

You've outdone yourself once again!! love the metallic drum sounds, and the verby piano near the end. The full-stop pauses really tricked my brain, an interesting effect. Always good to remember that despite his adorable looks, Slimer is not a friendly ghost, and would probably eat your face off if you let him.

Love the industrial vibes there!

I really like your vocals. There is some radiohead ish mixed with NIN... (You could have worse references. wink )

Not as polished as their released material, but it is a super cool track.

It's great to hear a track that's really been fleshed out it seems.  Some excellent tones in this track.  Really cool stuff.

I love the vocal line unison with the piano melody. It's such a strong hook. DO THE TRIP HOP ALBUM! haha.

i really like this and would definitely be interested in hearing album length of this. the bass is so sick, and the vocals work really well.

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the listens and encouragement.

Vocals fit in really nicely!

Wow this is great. The vocals are so interesting and well executed. The deep bass and metallic rhythm are A+.
Love the single guitar string too.

Thanks ya'lLaLaLaLaLa.

This is fun. I would put the vocals up a bit though.

I love the contrast between soft piano notes in the background and the scratchy drums. Quite a weird track (in a good way!), the consistency of the same drum beat throughout helps keep the pieces together

I really liked this, I get some Tim Exile vibes from this track (which is good).

Nice progression of movements! and that bass SLAPS

yoooo this is good!!! so creative. the odd melodies on the vocals and steel drum sounding thing work so well - reminiscent of king gizzard in how it's just off kilter enough to sit with the rest of the harmony, but really gives it an interesting twist

luv this

love it! cool vocals, cool beat and the piano notes are my fav!

the vocal line following the piano was SO effective!

awesome stuff!

The timing of things is crazy on this one, makes you wanna listen more. Loving all the choices you made and how despite being kind of minimal it sounds very full due to the way you performed everything.
