I did it yesterday.

I didn't record it because it's like...art or something...and I was all by myself so I have no proof, but yeah I did it and the heavens literally opened up and sucked my dick because it was so good.

there.

I'll have to borrow my friend's distortion pedal, then. I'll just leave out the dick sucking part.

distorted vocals are rad and led to conor oberst's best song

sean · « **Reply #103 on:** 13 Jan 2010, 15:13 »

what else would you use to distort vocals other than a guitar pedal?

especially if yr in a metal and and you probably have 20 extras lying around.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #104 on:** 13 Jan 2010, 15:22 »

One designed for vocal distortion, since if you are Opeth, you are being produced by Steven Wilson and you know he has just about every possible effect somewhere in his studio. I'm just wondering if it would give a different tone than one designed for vocals, kind of like a guitar played through a bass amp sounds different than through a guitar amp.

I wanna hear Peter Frampton singing through his guitar into a vocoder, passing through some distortion pedals on the way out. And we might as well autotune it afterwards for good measure, while we're at it.

it bet it would sound like this BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTT

So basically it would fit right in a grindcore track?

New Sia album in april, can't forget about that.

The single is awesome

SWOON! at My Gravitas · « **Reply #109 on:** 13 Jan 2010, 19:31 »

The Ocean is apparently going to be releasing 2 separate albums this year. Dang.

Also, there's "Deconstruction" (and possibly "Ghost") to look forward to from the Devin Townsend Project.

Does Cynic use autotune? That is what my answer to whether I hate autotune revolves around.

vocoder. Paul basically uses it to pitch shift his voice to get a bunch of different spacey awesome robot voices. auto-tune is just pitch correction with no pitch shifting

Harun · « **Reply #114 on:** 13 Jan 2010, 23:19 »

more on the metal front - look out for these two in particular, because these bands are gonna blow shit up hard:

Periphery - supposed to release an album out in 2010

Tesseract - their album 'One' is set to be released early 2010 (but I WANT IT NOW)

scarred · « **Reply #115 on:** 13 Jan 2010, 23:21 »

Faded Paper Figures is supposedly releasing their sophomore LP sometime this year.

I've seen a dude in local band sing a song into his guitar pickups. I also have a suspicion that the same method is used on one of those weird interludes on "Red Medicine" by Fugazi where someone (Guy?) is cackling insanely.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #117 on:** 14 Jan 2010, 10:52 »

The new Eluvium track features quite heavy use of vocals. Pretty well done too in my opinion.

You can listen to it here

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #118 on:** 14 Jan 2010, 11:00 »

Apparently the whole album is going to be that vocal heavy. I love Eluvium so so much so I'll be buying this for sure but I'm still not 100% sold on Matthew Singing.

Very brief thoughts on the four leaks I've heard so far:

Hot Chip - Kinda boring, I found myself skipping a couple of songs halfway through them. Not doing it for me.

Shearwater - Wonderful, as I expected. Meiburg and co. do it again, no matter if they're whisper quiet or rocking the fuck out or somewhere in between. I'm loving this album already!

Spoon - Sounds a lot like Spoon i.e. it sounds catchy and infectious and fun as hell. Awesome stuff!

Beach House - Love it! Their best yet by far.

Up next, stereo headphones listening session of new SMZ album.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #119 on:** 14 Jan 2010, 11:40 »

I thought that too about the new Hot Chip, but it grows on me every time I listen to it. One Life Stand and Take It In are still album highlights though.

i heard a rumor that a bunch of random diy music thats gonna rule is gonna come out this year.

this was a joke post but i just remembered monument is putting out an LP this year. it will rule.

also after taking some time to digest matthew's vocals the new elivium tracks are really nice. it's reminding me a lot of gregor samsa.

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #121 on:** 14 Jan 2010, 12:24 »

I didn't get that vibe but I'm a big Gregor Samsa fan so if that is the case then I'll be on board with this. I think I just need to give it a few more listens before it fully grows on me.

Motherfuckin Gil Scott-Heron is back with what's supposed to be a late-period Scott Walker style mindfuck. It's gonna be fantastic.

I am actually a bit excited to hear Fyfe Dangerfield's solo album, although I guess it'll be exactly like Guillemots material.

What's so terrible about 2009? One of my favorite albums ever came out last year, and there was a decent crop of releases that I liked.

(to be fair, I probably have different musical taste than about 95% of the forum)

Holy SHIT only this morning I was like "I wonder what would happen if an old soul legend took an older Robert Johnson song and did it in the style of Massive Attack".

Anyway, this is amazing.

Nowt, 2009 was incredible.

theoryC · « **Reply #132 on:** 16 Jan 2010, 10:06 »

Yeah, 2009 was awesome. There's only one or two albums from 08 that I listen to anymore, but i'll be listening to 09 material for a while.

So far I think Beach House is my favorite thing this year, but the Spoon and Yeasayer are both really enjoyable. Vampire Weekend was surprisingly good considering the s/t usually pissed me off. Plus I have several albums in the queue I'm excited about such as Besnard Lakes, and Magnetics Field is sounding pretty good (listening for the first time now).

Really hope new National makes it out this year. That and Radiohead.

Hey fellas, there's a new gorillaz track you can listen to on Spine Magazine. I'm really not too sure on this one. It's pretty far away from what they sounded like on the first album, but maybe a natural progressions from Demon Days? I'm not sure how I feel about all this bringing in outside artists to do some singing.

JD · « **Reply #139 on:** 20 Jan 2010, 17:34 »

I like it.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #140 on:** 20 Jan 2010, 17:35 »

Argh, I wish I could listen to it (I'm on a terrible connection). See, personally, I didn't care too greatly for Gorillaz (except Clint Eastwood, I mean, come on), but I thought Demon Days was amazing. Curious as to how the sound is shifting.

JD · « **Reply #141 on:** 20 Jan 2010, 17:55 »

Scarychips · « **Reply #143 on:** 20 Jan 2010, 19:19 »

I really like it. Makes me pretty excited for Plastic Beach. I'm on Zingo's side actually. Gorillaz didn't sound interesting enough (for me) but damn, Demon Days is incredible! I think I might give it a listen now.

squawk · « **Reply #144 on:** 20 Jan 2010, 19:40 »

I liked the self-titled better than Demon Days, I don't know, Danger Mouse didn't do it for me though I did like a decent number of tracks off that record.

But apparently this new album features Lou Reed and Mark E. Smith and Snoop and De La Soul and Mos Def so uh
dang

my 2010 so far: I am completely obsessed with Los Campesinos!, holy shit.

I like it better than their previous albums.

Scarychips · « **Reply #148 on:** 20 Jan 2010, 19:51 »

I can't really say. I gave it a quick listen when it leaked, but the day after, Pallett's album leaked, so I kind of forgot about it. It just didn't catch my attention enough for now.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #149 on:** 22 Jan 2010, 02:38 »

oh, and another new song update. maybe. Friend claims this is what daft punk has been cooking up for Tron Legacy. It does sound like them.
