Welcome back everyone to Hello Music releases… My absence can only be explained by computer problems, nice weather, and a general malaise of artistic self doubt. As you will here on this track, it is largely unfinished and still pretty rough. The vocals will need to be redone for pitch, the second verse added as well.
In addition there seems to be things lacking sonically; perhaps its in need of a more tonal center that can be aided with some droning synths or organ, some atmospheric depth and perhaps bass. I don’t want to overdo this song and let it get mucked up in too many overdubs so that will be my challenge for myself.
This being cover song month, I decided to not only cover one of Aryn’s songs (coming soon), but record a song by another band (or in this case bands). This song combines elements of Tortoise’s ‘TNT’ and Shout Out Louds’ ‘A Track and a Train’ played in a slower style that hopefully with be something of a dirge like something Sparklehorse would do.
Not sure its there yet but might as well show it off here to get some suggestions and outside opinions.
Here it is, version 1a of my cover of TNT.
