Hey guys, here's another track that I had done. Pretty low key, just some spacey guitar, bass and drums. I was really hoping to do some vocals for it but I've hit a bit of a "block" in that area.



Thanks for the listen.

Nice track. Like the grittiness of the guitar.
My only constructive criticism would be to maybe make the mix a little wider somehow. The mix is very monoish. Not a huge problem though. Just a thought.

Thanks for listening and for the feedback. That’s fair and I was at a little bit of a loss on how to widen it when I did the initial recording. I’m so used to multi tracking my guitars and hard panning left/right but with this one it was just one guitar track. Once I figure something out vocally for it, I may go back and try a widener on just the guitar or maybe the entire track. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks again.

Really enjoyed this.

My humble criticism:

1. There's may be few too many chord changes and root note transpositions to make the piece more memorable melodically - for instance every time at the end of the (chorus?) phrase you transpose upwards instead of going downwards (at 0:27 or 1:59 etc), which would be a much more natural and pleasant resolution.

2. The bass feels a bit too timid - bring it up, let it fill everything up. I believe 'All Them Witches' is the overall feel you're going for.


Also, the genre is called psychedelic rock :DD

Good job, keep us posted on how this develops!
