Fun Stuff > BAND

Check out my new band

<< < (2/3) > >>

Ernest:
Ugh.  That was terrible.

Why do you guys have to sing so close to the microphone?  It makes your vocals really annoying.  Are you just recording live into one computer microphone?  There are better ways to record with just a comp microphone.  Think of your house as a recording studio, and make use of the doors and hallways.

Also, the songs just suck.  They're long, boring, and completely discordant.  There is nothing beautiful about what you do.  If I wanted to hear stuff like this, but good, I'd just listen to Six Organs of Admittance.  You guys sound like some awful combination of them and Jandek with maybe some other avante-garde garbage my teacher played in drawing class this term.  And what's with the sporadic Spanish?  Maybe you should do it all in Spanish because the English lyrics are terrible.

Basically, there's just nothing to keep me interested in your long, boring songs.  You should write more like Down the Hill, which was at least almost tolerable. . . sometimes, even though the lyrics make me cringe. 

Look, I'm not trying to be a snob, but this band sucks.  Like, really.  It sounds like you guys barely even tried.  I hope you aren't too proud of this project.   

BeoPuppy:
Wow.

There's honest and then there is harsh ...

Aegir:
Thank you, Ernest for your honest feedback, I appreciate it greatly. It doesn't hurt my feelings at all. I wish more people would review my stuff.

Yeah, most of it was recorded live, vocals and instruments at the same time. Down the Hill has some overdubbing and of course the title track is heavily tinkered with.

rynne:
I have to agree with Ernest, it's poorly-recorded, long and annoying.  The thing you have to remember about avant-garde stuff is that just 'cause you're not working with established forms doesn't mean that things like tonality and structure can be abandoned.  Truly avant-garde stuff like Nurse With Wound or Irr. App. (Ext.) have really well-controlled sonic spaces and their music ebbs and flows in a deliberate fashion.  Without that kind of attention to detail, that kind of music typically devolves into some kind of masturbatory randomness---much more fun for the musicians themselves than for the listeners.

So, I guess my suggestion would be to sit down and have a better plan of what you're playing and how to record it next time you make an album.

That is how it's done. Try and take inspiration from AMM.
