The guitar is a telecaster into Vermillion and Softube Spring Reverb.
The Keys of the "Chorus" came from Thor.
Synths after the Break: Antidote and Viking.

You have to find a great lyricist and vocalist for this, this could be a hit for sure.

I was thinking the same, just needs some good vocals. Love the guitar.

This is fun, some really creative changes in here. Agree that it needs more vocals, or more central parts to maintain interest.
Producer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist. I make indie pop as Port Streets, 90s/shoegaze as Swooner, and Electro as Yours Mine.

Very nice song. Guitar has a great tone and nice main riff. I like the stereo-ness of it, gives it real depth. Whatever delay/reverb combinations you've used work very well. Agree that vocals would complete it but I enjoyed it anyway, lots of good creativity and musicality. Love that breakdown synth line! Oooh and now distortion! Very nice way to give it a climax. Top track!

This track is nice, I dig the cheerful upbeat-ness of it. I'd add some stereo handclaps! And perhaps try to do some more beat arranging. For example, the first "big change" around 1:03 could use a drum roll to introduce it. It gets better towards the end of the track though.

I like as a simple instrumental. Not having vocals seems an omission at first but I think that this is all about the play of the melodies and how the sounds interact. Sadly it does got confusing around 3:00 as it loses drive and the simple melodies get cluttered but then blam!. Maybe repeated listens will clear let me find the path.

This is a classic 50's form that saw a revival in the early 80's. Happy to see it back again.

Thanks for all the replies, it seems like this forum is a nice place to put songs in first place.
I never thought about put vocals in this song… could be interesting and I think I'll try...
