velorush Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 WOW! ETE (Edited to elaborate): where to start? It has to be a two-section explanation. 1. the video is phenomenal. It flows well with the song and is interesting throughout. Are those stock clips or do you have some sort of effects-generating software or perhaps a blend of both? 2. the song is extraordinary. Everything about it, the instrumentation, vocals, use of space (thank you! and BTW: no pun intended), production. It's just much better than any contemporary pop I've heard on the radio in a really long time, mostly because it is allowed to breathe. The production provides room for the ear to take in the performance rather than being continually pummeled . It's just really great IMO. Thanks for sharing.

You picked up on what we were going for. The whole EP we wanted to do the least double-tracking, detuning, pitch correcting, and overall trickiness possible. Just tried to give the songs some room to breathe, and also go for an overall warm and immediate feel. Our second LP I did tons of "stuff" on but the last one I backed off, and this one I just wanted to give it some room. It's just NASA public archives and some stock stuff except for the stuff in my neighborhood that I happened to have on my phone and seemed to work for the "abandoned Earth: black and white bits. I had a very clear idea of the story line of the song, so it was just a matter of finding the right images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soli'd Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Great stuff, Rick. Love that snare sound. Song has a bit of a flaming lips feel which works really well with the imagery in the video, and captures the somewhat melancholy but wistful nature of these times. I really enjoyed it.

BoogieMKIIA Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I get a British flavor. Sort of Pink Floyd/Bowie influence, but something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
