Slick stuff. I could swear there was a moment when the hum of the lawnmower was totally in tune with the rest of the instruments...
I really love these creative ideas you come up with for your videos. And man, I really want a baritone guitar, that opening riff sounds really fat. The primary melody vibes. Also, your home has some beautiful greenery. As a boy living in the dessert, I'm jelly.
yay! love that squawky baritone guitar, got a perfect crunch in that tone. dope track! 
I love the subtle build up of this one. You create a really great atmosphere. 
oh wow that baritone guitar sounds cool. really great work as usual with the textures, very inspiring
The lawnmower is vastly underappreciated instrument. Very skillful playing in this video, the subtle tones and harmonics that are being brought out are a delight. Wonderful control, truly a virtuosic performance, 10/10.
And the trumpet shines again... I second with ViridianLoom, I want a baritone guitar.
Great guitar sounds and I loved when the trumpet showed up. Bonus for getting yardwork done and making a video at the same time!
Every line of the guitar sounds really good. Such nice space and reverb. Calming and meditative.
The brass entrance did my head in: it both acts as a climactic point, but also (imo) chills the track out somehow -- the intensity of that riff and the whole's steady build is nothing to scoff at and could have done both towards a self-tearing destruction of sorts, but I really really appreciate optimism (and that's an optimistic ending, imo).

Apparently I can't write at all: "could have done both towards a self-tearing destruction of sorts" = "could have transformed into a self-tearing destruction" sigh.
I love the Danelectro guitars, the sound, the look, the vibe. What a strange setting, to play outside with the lawnmower running behind. This setup has a dreamy quality, something very random, but at the same time it speaks to the end of Spring, nature coming back, being able to enjoy the weather outside (especially considering where you guys are living).
More looper magic! This got me so confused, watching the hands but not being able to map them to the music. Did I hear a trumpet? And did I hear some lawnmower? That is a trippy intermission track.
Really fun with the worms eye view of Frank while mowing the lawn! I like the dual screen. I love the incorporation of the lawn mower and how the trumpet sneaks in- really nice timbre/tone quality that carries a lot of subtle emotions
Love this chord progression. Definitely digging all the layers of guitar too and how drastically different the tones are.
Ok, I've been slacking on keeping up with music on WB, Have been missing the weekly OD tunes and vids, so excited to dive in for a nice OD listening session here. Ok, so no intro, no checkboxes, what's happening, lol. I like how you sync the audio and video with claps, then it appears not in sync, made me smile. It's fun to watch playing, but hear something else actually. Seeing the lawn being mowed was fun, It looks like a nice day to sit outside. The song was mesmerizing, I dig it.
ok I'm going to catch up on the others now.
that baratone de = so dreamy! & then when the trumpet came in = swoon!
franks contribution to the sound and ambience was on point as usual
Oh god, I'm at the point in my life where I'm more obsessed with the mower Frank is pushing and the landscaping than the musical gear! You got awesome tone and trumpet blends beautifully... but that's a sweet shed back there for the, what is that a Snapper Push Mower? They make a good one. Love the punchy full bass notes coming from the baritone. Dreamy sounds made a bit surreal with the very ordinary yard work sound. Good to see you branching out into Lawn-core!
I was initially afraid this was going to be some experimental song sampling a lawnmower, thankfully it was not, it made a subtle appearance but in a tasteful way, guitar and trumpet blended just right.
I don't think I can top the Youtube comments so I'll just quote them here:
>"...I thought I had hear every sound used in a song. Adding "single stroke combustion" engine to that incomplete list."
>"...Great camera placement for an otherwise everyday task; love how giant it made both Frank and the trees above look."
>"he's getting a good sound outta that mower"
>"A clean lawn with clean beats reverberating in the air. - Spider"
>"This makes me want to cut some grass"
