i really like the nonchalant attitude on this track, great lyrics from lauren and your production never disappoints, michel!

maniacal and satisfyingly deep mix, really good fkn work, man.

man, the creativity that went into this is top-notch it’s hella grooves all the way. the mix i think could be revisited. the gtr and bass have a pretty good sound, but the other instrumentation doesn’t match their presence. i only offer the criticism cause i think it’s a really good track. respect.

hello. this is such a good production, your vox/lyrics really suit the musical direction, i love good romantic synthpop with a good beat, this is all that.

haunted stuff, wrenched, sad. good flow and very good production flourishes.

hello. a chill but oh so powerful track, full of understated confidence — you never need to raise your voice to cut thru the noise. impactful and beautifully performed. thank you for sharing this music here.

this is like lightning— bright and scary. respect.

patricia this brought my cat back down from that tree. this song is sunshine on a cloudy day. you guys are truly blessed — thank you for sharing!

haha this is really good. you know i’m a snot when it comes to punk music, for me it began in 75 and was over by 78 when the sex pistols split up. i was 15-18 and it was fucking outrageous good music that burned out but changed the game for good, because it brought anarchy — music can be made by anybody, you ain’t gotta be a ‘musician’. it was that new attitude that i think led to the rise of rap then hiphop as the dominant forms of music that exist now.
so anyway when i someone calls something punk my old brain goes ‘bullshit this has no cultural connection’. i’m so glad you prove me wrong, cause it is the spirit of anarchy that makes this shit weird and alive. and plus its just good. keep going, bro!

love those big ringing chords! this is a slow burn, great buildup to the fantastic finale. you two are such a great team — keep going, my friend!

a very pure electronic sound with sustained intensity and great filigree. induces a state of hyperreality like the dervishes experience. dangerous driving music, therefore! great music!

ok man more groovy levitation — you have great instincts with sound arrangements man, it’s inspiring listening to your tracks. thanks for the music you put out here, Legendary!

supernatural, spell-binding music. how do you make a groove that deep and floaty at the same time? respect, man.

echo all these nice comments! that low woodwind sound is just fuckin astral man it’s a beaut of a track, Legendary.

dear patricia and danke: damn you opened up the ballad receptor in my brain thats been empty for ages, wow. i love this songcraft, taking a familiar form and totally inhabiting it, there’s some kind of instinctual response we get from these sounds. Patricia your voice is so primal it sends my cat up the tree you have the razor’s edge in your perf. Danke is in top form, the music isn’t just a vehicle here, it really channels right into the listeners sensorium.
bravos and bumps all around for this wonderful collab.

i dig how this is put together — its a journey that starts tentatively and keeps getting more confident. the melody and beats work really well in telling a story in music — that’s a really cool thing. respect!

mekanik performance art — cool, grinding, theatric. much respect!

cool ‘found sound’ blend — good flow, that bent string sample is crazy! respect.

to hell with anger management. i hate everything but this.

Damn right outta the gate this is massive cool. has the oldskool edge hooked up to a new battery. damn! respect, Manzet.

hello. you’ve made an interesting and creative sound — keep going, man!

hello fred. i echo danke’s comments. this is road trip music, takes me outside. really refreshing work. much respect — peace, man.

feel that bass right in the solar plexus — catchy track, i like how you developed the sounds!

hello. what a cooly textured song! really dig the melodic development and instruments— nice, rich sound. bravos to you and yr teach!

very cool assemblage, good flow and balance between sound and music, plus the great jared harris! respect.
