Oh my god. Oh my good oh my god.

The sense of space and place in your songs is always on point, but this is amazing. It’s feelings of spaghetti westerns and playing Borderlands and space and dust and distance. Vocals add to the desolation perfectly. The trem guitar is fantastic, and how the whole piece just builds. And when it all just opens up at 3:25? Epic.

This may be my favorite piece you’ve done this year.

This is an intensely beautiful piece.  Really great work.  Dark, and morose, and lovely all at the same time.  The drums fit the track so well, and that tem on the guitars... just perfect.

This builds slowly but surely towards the distorted guitars and when they explode, the song becomes properly badass. I enjoyed this a lot, especially with the added context about who it's dedicated to.

I also went for a piece with vocals this week! But mine is much more minimal and doesn't have the awesome guitar riffs and Lyra.

WOW. The intensity of your track goes under the skin. There is a good bit of Nick Cave feeling to my pleasure.
Very very good music.

i'm so glad i got to hear the "in process" version (which wasn't a mess, btw ), but i am completely floored by where this song ended up! that build at the end - just massive and beautiful and beautifully massive.
thanks again for including my guitar message in the mix, an honor!
keep going

Deep down we're all space cowboys, weary from the trip, and in many ways welcoming the end to what has been a very long and winding journey. Really love to work on this track.

Fucking amazing. Absolutely love the vibrato western guitar, it's extremely effective at painting a scene.
Phenomenal work. The instrumental section at 3:20 is huge and wonderful.

This is so oozy, love the whole aesthetic and premise of this track. Both the feeling of space at the beginning/end and the intensity of the climax are so dialed in, such a cool song.

Love it, the message across the expanse. Big, nice work, cool direction to go - I think a bit different from things I remember recently of yours? Which is awesome. Go forth cowboy into the starry night. Love the story of how this came together, huzzah for WB and collabs!

Ooof damn love the whole mood and atmosphere that is set with the guitar and massive drums.  Gave me visuals of Timothy Olyphant as a Justified/Mandalorian space cowboy.   That guitar line around 3:28 sounds awesome and so damn heroic.  Like the character just got up, wiped the blood from his face and picked up his stetson to keep trudging towards his destination. The outro **chefs kiss**

this is amazing from start to finish, such a cool ambience to this and the cowboy/western thing is so much there!

Thank you It was a struggle but worthwhile! Now I just gotta do the album version and do all the things I didn't have time for lol.

Thank you! The drums were kinda funny - I went through like six different permutations that I hated, did these ones, didn't like them but left them a night - next day sounded kinda perfect. Sometimes we need a break.

Thank you! I really liked your vocal piece you should keep pursuing that, it worked so well!

Oh, Nick Cave, high compliment! Thank you!

Thank you You can borrow some sugar any time!

Thank you . Hopefully this can translate to a whole album lol.

Thank you! I do love my guitar.

Thank you!

Thank you! I started the year off with a lot of M8 techno and tend to oscillate between techno and other post-rock-ambient-vocal stuff. There's probably a techno album coming eventually too but right now it tends to just teach me a lot about energy and arrangement.

Thank you! I was honestly surprised by the outro too lol ... there were a lot of happy accidents of feedback and reverb there.

Thank you! And welcome lol.
