bats brew Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) https://batsbrew.bandcamp.com/track/neon-blues Neon Blues: this is the only song on the new album that was directly influenced by the Covid Pandemic. The name of the album is Elemental; Neon is the 10th element on the periodic table of elements; Neon blues is the 10th song of the album. The 1st half of the song, is to represent the lockdowns, the social pull back, the fear of the future, the heartbreak of the relentless wave of bad news… the 2nd half represents the pushback of science, the battle against the virus, the struggle to get back to a fully functioning society. The Battle is not won yet. Hence the vibe of the song is both sad and hopeful at the same time. album here: Bandcamp:https://batsbrew.bandcamp.com/ Edited May 14, 2021 by batsbrew 3

Good to hear you're inspired to make more. thanks so much kurt!! def check out the ballad i posted... it's cool, getting new toys (the strymon iridium) and drums (toontracks rooms of hansa) because, it affords me new perspectives of what i'm hearing in my head, vs. what i can actually pull off in a recording. thanks for the comment
Wookiee Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 I am hearing PF between Animals and The Final Cut, as ever the mix and the licks are excellent nice one Bat's
SteveC Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 Nice blend of modern and dreamy 70s prog/classic rock. The solo after the 3:00 mark was pretty cool - fairly simple yet effective. ?
Kevin Walsh Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 Man, all your stuff always sounds so great and this is no exception. Neon is just brilliant. I'm going to have to listen to them all now. Damn you, I don't have time for this!

LOL the whole album is pretty dialed in, actually, if you like one, you are likely to like most of them.
