Great gig last night. TTT might be technically accomplished but for my money, you guys were easily the best on the stage.

I was scouring the internet for recorded tracks before I stumbled on this post -- get recording! In any case this is a rare opportunity to say that I think that (as you suspect) your last track is the big single winner here. When you record it, I suggest you turn the levels pretty high up for the 'I don't know, I don't know' harmonies -- in some ways the most memorable and catchy element of the song; no disrespect to the main vocal line! That's what I was singing along to and it's what's in my head this morning.

The first couple of tracks were also particularly tight; but then you knew that too, hence the track order. As for the quirky beginning of the final track, with its repeated bars on different instruments, I wonder if you could turn that into something a bit more organically linked with the main track: when the original guitar notes appear again near the end of the song, they worked very nicely, so it might be fun to play with that integration in another place in the song, or possibly rejigging another repeated bar on the bass, beyond the walking bassline that plays through the whole song (that's a great line though, of course; I'm not suggesting changing it). I know from Art of Fiction that you know how to record complex synchronised stuff (though perhaps mainly MIDI), so I'm not worried, anyway...

Best of luck to you -- play on!



P.S. I particularly liked the song about how your life is going very badly and you think you're going to die -- but then you don't.

 

thanks so much for the comments! I'll keep it all in mind. But it's great to have our suspicious/hopes confirmed by an objective outsider :)
Off to the studio literally right now!
