You're just hanging on to letting go, he. I dig the vocals man, delivered with the right amount of breath, emotion and heart that fits the feel of the production as a whole. What's not to like here. Cool vocals and well produced sounds to support them.

TomTom Club meets thethe? To me it has a blend of those two band's influences. I dig it man!

hello Wayne! by this time, bud, you gotta count your own bad self as one of my influences! honest, i thought of what you’ve said recently of the joy in making a track in a short amount of time. i scribbled around w the words all day on and off and found a few beats i thought married well. was gonna try and sit down the next day with the aco to work something but couldnt leave it overnight and i had this mochajones loop i didnt know what to do with. it was awful late and i waspretty ragged when i did the vox but it ended up suiting the track.
thank you, bro, for listening and thank you for being the instigational kinda guy you are.

I immediately faved this track purely for the background loop to begin with :D.

as for the vocals, its perfect calmly and menacing at the same time like the vocalist from The Cure - Lullaby

Thank you for making this! :)

Cheers!

I'm not sure about Davie Bowie or Ric Ocasek. I think I heard the ghost of Lou Reed on this track. I really liked the sound. Vocals worked perfectly in the track. Great "attitude" in the vocal delivery. If you ever would consider a collab, I have unfinished tracks that were meant for a voice like yours.

hey eric! i said to my compadre cyberflares recently that having a mic in front in me was like having a gun pointed at my face. that being said, it’s nice what you said about lou — he did have a way to make being flat and affectless emotive somehow. i admire what i’ve heard of yours checking thru yr page, esp your vocal tracks. well hey man i dig collab its always no harm no foul with me bro drop me a line. regardless, thanks sincerely for your listen!

what a brilliant song this is...David Bowie from my view in feeling and that groovy is fantastic...this is a coolm lounge kinda song so I believe that this is lo-fi, but only because you wrote :-)
anyway, you know that it's not important...

thanx for the upload, and thanx for letting us dl it...
standing ovation, Danke

Hello mate, always nice to hear a new song of yours. What a brilliant piece, it's a great way to wake up. I respect all types of music, except there are many artist that sound boring and don't bring excitement and interest to their music. Damn industry, you can't really blame the artists. Thank God for independant music, I just love it. I apologize for my rant lol. You bring all the goodies to the table, and because of that you are on my list of favorite artist. Thank you for sharing your wonderful music, keep going strong my friend. Faved :)

SunFace, hello! you deserve a medal for listening to my voice, man it’s the aural equivalent of the blair witch shaky-cam! it amazes me my first instinct is to hide this kind of thing in a subfolder but i thought ah hell. you know it’s because of quality people like yourself here that encourage others that i would ever even conceive of doing this. i know you understand the depth of my thanks for your listen, my friend.

Yeah, I love the drone like quality. Dreamy and concusive vocals gives me a sort of fil noire feel to this track. This is cocise, great and minimal. Slightly light in the background dissonance at 1:58 awesome work! Reminds me of James Di Salvio and his Bran Van 3000 work.

Description : Miguel from Bolivia got in touch wanting to sing on my Dirge in Em track. You never know what to expect but in this case he delivered with this emotional and wonderful vocal performance. Thanks and much respect to him. LM wouldn't let me insert his U-Tube or Spotify links but I'm sure if you seek you will find.
