bit of a quick turnaround on this one. late night recording so i've got some whispery vocals here, and it's about as stripped back as i'm likely to get...
not 100% sure if the final sound is what i had in my head, but it's late and i'm going to bed. i might like it more in the morning!
bloody knee
twisted ankle
fog is closing in
on the way home
and i think it’s too late
make plans
get it booked in
cancel plans
just too busy
and i think it’s too late
i think it’s too late
and so i start to fluctuate
and i slowly start to change
just a little bit each day
just a little tougher each day

this is a sad one. but the build towards the end kind of takes the sting away
this is a pretty one

This is my speed…looking at the photo have you evolved the shoe gaze genre to croc-gaze? Loved this start to finish.
@cleanshoes Feb 2022
I actually think the whisper singing works really well here, especially with your vocal layering. It adds to the dreamy, late-night vibe. Very atmospheric.
@bootlegger Feb 2022
Ugh. Yes. The vocals. Lyrics. Melody. Production. THE GUITARS. Oh fuck me. Synth. One note. Right in the right ear. Just sold that whole thing. This bridge is really cool. That build. Oh yeah. And release. Wow. Such a cool track. Please release this.

Loving the vocal Melodies on this - on the contrary the whispered vocals work well with the dreamy atmosphere. Great luscious guitar tones!
@djtjb Feb 2022
I love your subtle use of synths. Just enough to add to the ethereal vibe without overpowering. Really dig the dreamy vibe. Great song!
@celineellis Feb 2022
oh my days - this is awesome. 2 minutes of dreaminess that i wished were longer, but not because its perfectly succinct. the bass drum pattern is gentle yet driving and the quiet vocal really does suit it. that final section is a perfect place to end leaving me wanting more!! great work again!
@shortdan Feb 2022
Really enjoyed this one. The mix has a dreamy and warm feel to it. Particularly like the lyrics. I'm a sucker for a 2 minutes something track that makes its point and leaves you hungry for more. Lovely stuff.
@vomvorton Feb 2022
Lovely guitars as usual! I really like the way the intensity just creeps up a level for that final section, it's really satisfying.
@dancrook Feb 2022
Nice one man! Welcome back!
Got some Ben Howard vibes coming through on this.
Love the way that vocal sits in the mix. Beautiful arrangement
@mattwdunn Feb 2022
This is fantastic. The vocals had me hooked straight away. The guitar sound is great, the melody is perfect. Best song I’ve heard this FAWM so far. I can’t wait for what comes next
@musicbymichelle Feb 2022
Great song!
@slawbleu Feb 2022
Love the guitar tones on this -- and the vocal melody is just superb. The harmonies at the end were a lovely surprise, too. Great song!!
@kovbleu Feb 2022
I think the whispery vocals are a perfect compliment to the dreamy guitar work you have going on. I quite love it. The vocal melody is super catchy. I love the mixture of the held notes in each line and the little high swoops on "ah ahhs". Beautiful!!
