shit, thanks! I can't say the whole thing is quite as good as that one (I feel like we got rushed in a number of ways in the final steps), but there's some that I'm damn proud of. "Slacker's Jaw" is probably my favorite. we used just our voices, guitars+amps, stomps and claps, and a weed grinder, and it sounds more like the real deal than some of the stuff we kinda half-assed with more conventional rock instrumentation. second favorite is the one linked before, and then "Bittern Suite" and "A.H" tie for 3rd.

Having listened to it a few times, I can agree with what you said, Rust really does stand out to me as a great track, not that any of the album feels like filler or is bad in anyway, it's actually brilliantly coherent and consistent. It really reminds me of Oh, inverted World by The Shins, in that I love listening to the whole album, but my ears always prick up when Pressed In A Book starts playing, it just has a certain something that catches me out and I love it.
Altogether, you should be proud of the album for sure. And now I need to start listening to Troubadour a bit more.

Thanks! I am definitely proud of it, and I agree that there's lots of good ideas on there. I just think that for all Kabir's incredible creative talents, he could stand to be a little more patient during the recording process. I feel like some truly excellent songs (Headband Dream, Good Feels, and most of all Rotten Rotten Me) are marred by some very avoidable slop that I just can't get over, for some reason which is inextricably related to my obsessive perfectionism. In some of the newer demos he's showed me, though, his overdubs fit a lot tighter than ever before. Maybe me bitching at him like a nagging spouse to use a metronome finally sunk in. ;)
And feel free to listen to whatever of mine you want, you'll hear nothing but thanks from me. Y'all are too kind. :psyduck:

Detachable Felix:
So I've been doing a fair few covers recently for my radio show, one of which is from Patrick's band Troubador - I covered their song Sunday Morning, and to be honest, I think it's one of the best one-takes I've ever done:

Also last night my band did a one-take of Bloodbuzz Ohio by The National, which I am incredibly happy about.

Still trying to write some more originals, particularly lyrics - i'm almost tempted to go full on Cream and just have random lines that make no sense ('but the rainbow has a beard' et al)
Thrillho:
I hope you're partly tempted because I keep trying to get you to do it. I wrote one of my absolute best songs that way and I'm working on another one where I plan on doing that. You can always rewrite the lyrics later, at least get a vocal melody in there.
And sometimes the words take on more meaning than they first appear ('she's eating her fingers like they're just another meal') and sometimes you find transcendent lines in amongst the wreckage ('you're the kind of girl I like because you're empty and I'm empty').
