Thank you all for your listening and your comments and suggestions and listening. I have really learnt a lot in weekly beats from trying out and incorporating things that have been suggested to me. Has been awesome.
ALL FEEDBACK ON SONG, MIX, PERFORMANCE, SONGWRITING ETC WELCOME
Hoof I'm tired at the upload. This week and last I've been tired by Sunday eve sesh time.
I was working on another one this eve but it needed more time so at the last I came back to this one. Came from a riff with a new buddy Carlos. A Mexican who was passing through and we met at an open mic a few weeks ago. We met for a jam and started recording a song. This week we met up again and started jamming with the idea to have more material for our song and this came up. Basically a completely different song haha. I liked it so I decided to use it for this weeks Weekly Beats.
Started on Saturday, a session intended just to get drums and bass down. I managed to get the guitars and synth down too. Carlos had an awesome synth sound and line when we were jamming but I couldn't recreate so I just did something else. So today circling back to it I just did some vocals and chopping and mixing.
I'm feeling Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Its Blitz era), Horrors, Death Cab For Cutie.

I like it and had lots of fun playing this.
The synth added a lot in atmosphere and ambience and was super simple.
Great to do a different genre than my usual wheelhouse and something dancey. I danced a lot whilst recording this, it was great haha.
I did a double bass thing which I think sounds great, a light fuzz and a clean driving one.
Was great to enter the studio with an idea with different parts ready to get down. I had video from the jam with Carlos so I watched it back when came to record.

I'm not too keen on the second guitar lead. It sounded way better in the jam version but didn't quite work when I came to record.

Use drummers from different genres and beats and use them as a starting point, it switches up my playing in a good way and going for things which I don't usually do and using them I think could make for some interesting combinations.
