Let's Pretend (v3) (In the Style of Temples)
By Tomatron.Jones on October 13, 2024 11:48 pm
I saw the British psych-rock band Temples play this week so I was inspired to try to create something in a similar vein so I noodled around with my 'Let's Pretend' chords on bass and guitar. I tried the psych-rock sound of Temples - compressed drums, big and fuzzy bass, vintageyy, low-mid heavy sound. Unfortunately chords and melody aren't necessarily in the psych-rock vibe, and I neglected the guitar tone the synths as well. I'm not in love with the arrangement either, I ran out of time, kinda did weird stuff with automating the BPM and transposing a B-section. Anyway, I'm not in love with it but it was interesting and I have much more to practice for getting that vintage rock sound.
