Lockdown Post Rock

[James Cartwright]

Hi guys,

We're in lockdown here in NZ, so I've spent some time in the studio, the mix could definitely be better, but I can't listen to it again

Hope you enjoy

Not a "crit", but I kept waiting for the "hammer to fall" ala Deep Purple or King Crimson et al.

Huge sound stage, no doubt about that!

I'm not good with "genres", but this is "ambient"?

A bit long for my tastes, but I get it.

I'm gonna give you a "well done"! 👍

I like it very much, it's a listening adventure.

In the beginning I kind of wanted the lead guitar noodling to either come up in volume, (it's often quieter than the hi hat), or prolly just a hair less reverb whist keeping it atmospheric. Somehow!

I'm guessing, live drummer? Pretty impressive however it's played or programmed.

I think the entire thing has a massive sense of vision. Mix-wisem I'd vote for a little more "air" up top, it's a bit focused on midrange, which is understandable given the instrumentation, but any kind of eq that cak do one of those 20khz air boosts or upper eq lift shelf might help it breathe a bit more. To be fair, I listened on headphones, decent phones, but that might be the "air" I'm missing. I dunno.

Great track, great adventure.

cheers,

-Tom

Thanks Toms,

I'll have a go at incorporating the suggestions.

The genre would be post rock mostly I guess, like Mono, Explosions in the Sky, This Will Destroy You

The drums are SD3 played via my TD-20

Thanks for the listens and the thoughts
