Both the voice & the writing reminds me of Junebug's performance from Kentucky Route Zero (however this is nothing like it, also), I don't know what to categorize this type of pop as -- psychedelic? Futuristic? It's music w/ its own logic. Otherworldly, great work!

Thanks! I hadn't played that or come across it before, sounds beautiful!

Yeah I guess I was going for a funk pop/japanese city pop kinda vibe but then went off on a tangent.
Cheers!

My wife agrees with the coffee sentiment. I like the rising feel of the instruments.

Really great song that stands out in what must be a very good week at the WB's (unless I've just been lucky with the songs I've heard this week so far). Music/lyrics fit together perfectly, and the lyrics are both clever, funny and original. This one truly paints a picture. Love that pitchy lead, and the synthsax was nice!

Thanks for the lovely words!

Nice soft sound to your instruments. I think it's a relaxing cafe

This is a really great track, I think you definitely captured the vibe you we’re going for.   The M8 was outside my radar, seems like a crazy piece of kit now that I’ve looked into it.  I know little about how trackers work, they’ve always seemed like dark magic:)  The design is really great, looks like sci-fi tech from a Ridley Scott film.

I am listening to this as I'm drinking coffee. My first thought is that the Anri vocal AI is really really really good. I want to try and play with that. Is that a pain to get the tone right, the expression and the rhythm?

I love the instrumentation of this track. The simple synth line is nice, but there is so much happening in the back with the guitar. Tasty stuff there. And this bass slaps! Very nice original style.

Thanks so much! Had lots of fun with the bass slaps!

I find using SynthV+Anri pretty easy, doesn't require a lot of fiddling to get it to sound good for this style at least. I mostly use the "auto-tuning" feature as a baseline which gives good natural sounding results and maybe tweak it from there if needed.
By default she sounds quite girly, but if you bump up the "gender" slider ~0.150, she sounds a bit more mature like this.
