I keep hearing good things about Backrooms, sounds like I'll have to check it out! Hard to imagine a more glowing endorsement than a brand-new Orange Drink hit single. 😎

Oh snap you were right!  This is my fav of yours this year!  Love the rhythm of the lyrics! When the bass comes in ooof yes! And how do we know it's one of your best cuz there is an awesome trumpet solo too! \m/ You Rock! heart also happy halfway and Go Frank!!!

Love this one! I really like the lyrics and how you deliver the vocals, and when all the instrument layers come together it's REAL good.

Brilliant. This is you sound.

I got a feeling you would love SCP, you could make so many songs out of those.

what a vibe big_smile amazing, love it
for whatever reason feels nnostalgic

seconding DESLRV, you might go take a look at SCP for inspiration

So good. So so good.

What a vibe. Loving the way this just goes off slowly expanding into forever.

(Also: Yay CM-15 buddies!)

I like it. Haven't seen Backrooms other than trailer. This made me picture you in those weird spaces and worry that people forgot. But no one would forget! Wow, all on that one mic, sounds good, now I want one. I was happy when drums came in, flowing well, and that instrumental second half is sweet, love the guitar part.
Oh, and thanks for inspiring me to rap on my week 25 song Mr T Underoos ... you commented on week 22 and said you thought I might, so I was like, yeah that sounds fun!

YO!

great one. Love the drums, trumpets and all of it really.

ROCK on!

Thanks for stalking my YouTube Channel... wink Take care!

hell yeah, Drew heart

love me a good 1 mic drum recording. and the way they kick in with the repeated "reminding me" hoooooooo
trumpet = cherry on top

Fantastic lyrics, when the drums drop in is just so good, had to rewind a few times, just when you think this can't get any better, the trumpet shows up. 

Quite grungy. Best moment when the trumpet comes in.

This has the kind of "energetic but unsettled" vibe I associate with Soundgarden. I'm not sure what you're doing with the chords (chromatic mediants maybe?), but you've taken a bunch of sunny or calm pieces and made them land in off-kilter places. V appropriate to the inspiration. So is the circling in the vocal melody, with some madness-mantra feel to the way you're pushing your voice here. The drums fills feel like they're trying and failing to wake your narrator out of the loop. *Love* the tone on the bass and trumpet. 

Lyrically, I wanna read this as a warning against isolating yourself in your obsessions. All the tapes and multitracks and loops might *feel* like human interaction, but they're increasingly degraded photocopies of the real thing. And even the song degrades in the end, just to drive the point home. Nice work!

i can hear you down there all the way to indiana heart
you sound amazing but i hope you get outside for a walk today

Sick track, makes me yearn to play on a kit in a basement it's been far too long : ) Happy halfway!

Very nice guitars and beautiful layering. I especially like the fuzz/static.

there is no anti-memetics devision rules.
great song! love droning 'reminding me'. sick drums too! my head feels full from all the lushness here.

I missed this one last week! Love how you worked those Backrooms ideas into it. And I REALLY like how you work trumpet into your songs. Been trying to figure out some ways to do that myself and haven’t gotten there yet smile

Awesome song right here. Unsettling and cathartic, all at once. Lyrics hit a bit hard lol

The guitar sounds beautiful, and I wasn't expecting that trumpet at all (it fits perfectly). Really loved the bitcrushed fade out
