Elektromöose: Cool groove with that bass line. I like the vocal phrasing but there's something about it that took a bit to get used to. Maybe how it's sitting in the mix? Regardless, the melody and the groove, the hook are all stellar. Okay, on second listen, forget all that. The vocal is sitting just fine. Probably just my ears being my ears. Did you know there was 8 seconds of silence at the end of the track?
The Freezing Hands: Tasty bit of garage rock guitar. Okay, all that I said about the vocals above, right? Fits here. Just not sitting properly for me. But it does kind of fit the sound of the track, the mix feels a bit thin to my ears. There are some popping noises in the bass line, I know it's the bass line because I have that problem all. the friggin. time.
Frosty The Showman: The sparse arrangement is kind of cool.. reminds me of an old russian movie, in black and white, but hell if I can think of which one. Is it the fiddle or the vocal that is slightly out of tune? It can be a bit of trick when you double the melody in instrument and voice because little discrepancies can either be beautiful or torture. Doing it for four minutes might be stretching my interest level a bit even if I do appreciate the take on the prompt.
Johnny Cashpoint: Musically, this is pretty cool. I like it more than most of what I've heard from your recently (whatever that means.) The muddy vocal is mixed a bit loud and still isn't clear enough for my taste. Still, I find myself enjoying this more than nitpicking it.
LYNKEN: I enjoyed your last song a lot. And then I hear this and right from the start I'm liking it as well. There's a bounce to the rhythm (and piano) that's hard not to move to. I like the contrast between the almost happy bounce and the lyric. It looks like we both took very, very similar takes on the title although musically we're pretty far apart, I guess. I think I like your lyric more. Maybe your vocal delivery gets a hair stale by the end but it's a cool take on the lyric so I can't really complain.
Pigfarmer Jr: I cut my finger at work a couple of weeks ago and couldn't play guitar. It was really awful in a lot of ways, but I started playing with piano midi and samples and got a couple of different (to me) types of songs out of it, this being one of them. This was the first guitar I played in a while and I had to capo on the second fret in order to play that B minor (as an A minor open chord) because I couldn't (and can barely still) play a barre chord. I mixed this to -13 LUFS and it seems louder than all the other songs. Maybe -14 would be better? Or a couple of you others could actually get yours close to that level and make mine sound more in line, I guess.
Robyn Mackenzie: This displays your melody style, I feel. And it works really well on the chorus. That bass line and the rhythm both work great and that added synth after the chorus is cool but it makes the mix feel a bight right side heavy for a bit, I think. I'm not sure this song stands out of your catalogue much, it's solid but maybe not one of the very best, but it's still one of the highlights of the fight.
I'm leaning twoards: elektramoose, Lynken and Robyn Mack but will probably listen again a time or two before voting.
