CRAZY TOWN - CitizenMofo2

17th Jul 2019 17:54 - 7 years ago
Description : I wrote this song some time ago when I was living in Florida. It's even more true today.

Vocals by Arthur Granquist, guitar by the great Kevin Lysen, drums by Marc Karmatz, also the recording engineer.

The idea musically was to take some rock and some bluegrass elements, mash 'em up and see what happened.

Every day is a struggle to do better in a crazy world.

What a great percussive tune. Lots of punch and original ingenuity. Some really tasty slide parts. Writing is outside of the box. Great job guys. I thoroughly enjoyed this to the max.

Cool track, fun and upbeat. Sounds like something made in Florida, has that southern feel to it....and mentions guns, ha! My opinion it's a bit over compressed causing everything to be at the same level in the mix, leaving no depth in the song and a little fatiguing on the ears but in saying that it's a very well put together song and a great effort by all the musicians and participants in the track.

Well done!

ahhh, ahhh, ahhh...

what an outstanding track...amazing band work here with a fantastic vocalist...good to hear 'live' music here in Loopey, between those trap, rap, hip hop flood...:-)

all my hats of in front of you and the band, sheer brilliance, handshake, Danke

CitizenMofo2 replied 12th Aug 2019 - 7 years ago
Danke, Danke, old friend. Very much appreciate it. As long as you use quotes around 'live,' then yes. All of this music was actually played for this particular song by these particular musicians. None of it was loops, which is very unusual for me. A group of fantastic musicians - I couldn't have asked for anything better and it's really humbling for me to hear such skill and talent. So thank you for your response and comment!

I love the moving bassline on this one. Super creative and well produced. I love it at 1:45 when it just rocks out. Ever-changing and building. awesome tune! And I love the abrupt ending.
You get two turntables and a microphone for this one.
great Job .

Great vocalist & the lyrics are fun. Kudos for that. It's definitely "Americana" type rock & roll, which is great. This would sound fantastic being played by a bar band in the right sort of place. Like a "jeans & ball caps" kind of place over a "cosmopolitans & designer shoes" kind of a thing. The track is exceptionally clean & professional sounding as well. So great work all the way round on this.

Thank you. I wish I could claim credit for the great production but I wasn't even there, to be truthful, this is a crew that did a bunch of my songs and I relied on them completely and managed the process long distance. Most of the time a lot or all of the music was an orchestration of loops but this is one of the few times where it was all original music played in the studio. I agree - this should be done in a honkytonk kind of place, maybe with some sawdust on the floor or peanut shells. Thank you for your kind comment.

Description : 'Taqdeer' in Urdu means 'Fate' or 'Destiny'. This is an Arabic /Hindi/Bollywood hip hop /club track. The drums are hip hop but the vibe is full sad emotional club vibe. It reminiscences of a man crying teardrops in a nightclub. That can be the best way to explain the vibe of this track. Hope you enjoy it!

Description : A high energy Afro fusion instrumental built around a driving rhythm, melodic elements, and a smooth, infectious bounce. The production blends energetic percussion with a melodic atmosphere, creating a versatile foundation for artists to bring their own sound and personality.

Perfect for artists looking for an energetic record with room for catchy melodies, confident flows, and expressive songwriting. Whether it's a feel good anthem, a hustle driven record, or a late night Afro fusion vibe.
