ohh this is so nice! it's like big dream pop vibes via a roland mt32. love the vocal processing and yea the carillon melody is such a nice touch! the fuzzy guitar-ish lead is just perfect too
Cool! I'm glad to hear you again! Really looking forward to hear your tracks!
Wow! This is kind of different for you! It sounds like there's a lot of post-rock influence here and I'm totally vibing with it. It's definitely among your best that I recall from recent memory. I'd love to hear more of this down the line! It works really well with the vocals you put in as well. In case Saguaro Gigante doesn't comment on this later, I'm sitting with him right now listening to tracks and he's really vibing with this too. Seriously, excellent work!
lovely! and so confident. always dig your tracks... looking forward to what's in store in 2024
Happy 2024!
What a nice vibe this track has! The vocals with the chorus and the pop vibe are really nice, epic, and have a sense of magic. The bells from 1:05 are a nice touch with the other sounds you have. That's a great track that will get stuck in my head!
This rocks! Everything meshes so well but every part matters. What a powerful start to the year!
Loving the cloud pop about clouds popping. Meta. Great job! Welcome back, and keep it up!
Absolute banger! I love how the vocals sort of overlap, its a super neat effect. Who is it? I get oliver vibes but I'm not that familiar with en vocaloids.
Really cool how it launches right away into space rock/shoegaze territory. The bells are a nice touch as well. Gave me some Boards of Canada vibes with the vocals too. Super catchy track!
wonderful pop that takes us to the clouds and beyond. Great vocals. I dig the bells - they go well when floating amongst clouds!
I couldn't believe this was a levelcapybara song, except it still sounds awesome. Superb harmony and instrumentation
A really lovely track that feels like you're soaring. Great track to kick off the new year.
awesome goosechasing! ...shoegazing? Awesome track! The kind of vocal overlaps/repeat around 1:45 are super nice, not sure what it is but it really adds to the song
Welcome back. I see you found the vocaloids. Hope they serve you well.

Sorry for the late replies everybody! But thanks so much for all the feedback and encouragement, and for taking the time to listen.

Thank you! Looks like dream pop's a genre I'll have to check out more. Let me know if you've got any recommendations!

Wow, that's some high praise! Thanks ViridianLoom! I'm definitely trying to expand my sound this year, so I really appreciate your comment.

Thanks so much! It means a ton to hear that one of my tracks could have that effect. Happy 2024 to you too!

some serious shoegazing
Thank you! It's funny, I'm not too familiar with the genre, but the more I hear people recommend stuff in it the more I like it. If you've got any favorites, I'd love to check them out!

Coming from you, that's huge praise! Thanks so much. The voice is one of the Vocaloid 5 presets ("Amy"). I bounced two recordings an octave apart to help with depth and intelligability. Don't know that it paid off - definitely still learning what I'm doing with Vocaloid - but I had fun with it and I enjoy the timbre!

Thanks! I'll have to check out Boards of Canada, people who mention them really seem to love them. And tubular bells. And shoegaze. Looks like there's a lot of cool things to explore this year.

Yeah, shoe-gaze vibes for sure. Love it!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for listening. And definitely hit me up with any shoegaze recommendations, I'm new to the genre and totally down to learn what I can.

I was so happy when I read this. I really hope I can write more things that inspire that kind of reaction this year. Either way, thanks so much for listening and for the feedback. Looking forward to another year of WB with you and everybody!

Goosechasing...now THAT's a genre I can get behind. And thank you!

I did! It's definitely a work in progress, but I'm having fun experimenting with them. Welcome back to you as well - it's great to see you and hear your stuff on WB again this year!

i do like the silversun pickups and ulrich schnauss, and -more classic shoegazing - the cocteau twins.
dude did you just shoegaze??? this is so sick! I think our next collaboration needs to be like this

I guess I did! And thanks so much. I'm definitely down to give a collaboration like that a shot!

Funny enough, I have some sounds that I love working with and that tend to show up a lot in my stuff - but I actually didn't realize tubular bells were one of them until I read the comments for my first few WeeklyBeats this year. Guess it was subconscious? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ They've definitely got a cool and convenient sound though. Hope I've been putting them to good use!

Same, the roland mt32 vibes very bold. Clarity, punchy and sharp. But the song also has such noise and grit, my faves.
The church bells are inspired af. This song is so fucken good the longer I listen to it. This chord progression is fantastic, uplifting and intriguing all at once.
Hell of a start to wb24!
I love this track! Very chill with lots of layers that all complement each other. Sounds great!

Thanks so much! You've got quite a powerful sound yourself, so it means a ton to hear that from you. Here's to what'll hopefully be a heck of a fun year!

Thank you kindly!
Excellent, such a big intro. Really sets the tone, feel-good song all the way through. What vocaloid are you using?

Vocaloid5 (and the voice preset is "Amy"). Glad to hear that it fit the track okay, and I'm especially glad to hear the intro made a good impression!
