The clean tone is so glorious and solid.
I’d suggest letting the drums actually live a bit – they’re super buried by the honestly incredible guitars.

This has some really interesting sounds but it sounds authentic, it’s funky, it has good rhythm. The panning is good, the changeups are super cool, the sudden breaks are on point.

This one feels fast and frenetic for the first few measures before the funk really hits. The bass and drums feel nice and tight and balanced, the other voices in this feel a bit distant to start, but starts to balance with the rising pattern. That guitar comes out really cleanly, but almost feels too plucked. I dig the frenetic build up into the ending again, though with how the bass lands feels slightly abrupt

What. The. Hell. Help – I’m stuck with a stank face! This is AWESOME. Absolutely disgusting guitar playing. Love the bass for this as well. Nice short kick too that just makes this track, like, punch and duck in a super groovy manner. The way you play with the reverb too is just like… wow. I’ve got nothing to add anon. You have my highest vote for the month.
Actually, I do have something on a second listen (because it’s that good) – I can hear the amp buzz at some spots. Not immersion breaking, and sometimes there’s just nothing to be done about it… but wanted to point it out. No points lost lol. This is super inspiring to me.

The production and tones in this one make me extremely jealous, both the clean guitars and the bass have an amazing catchy pluck sound to them that are also so cleanly performed, it produces a sound that to my brain is like munching on a tasty snack. I like how simple it is too, just drums bass and clean guitars, yet every part of this small ensemble is performed tight as fuck and have their tones shaped to perfection. Only nitpick is the ending is pretty abrupt.

I love love love the crisp and plucky clean guitars and the more atmospheric sounds sprinkled here and there. Some interesting harmonies and textures.
Snare sound feels a little timid. A little more energy there would elevate this a lot in my eyes.

yooo wtf is going on here. YYYYESSSS. UGH. The guitars are offensively clean. In a good way. They’re like “yo fuck your overdrive. fuck your reverb. cowards”. God I like this. Feels like this guitarist pulled out their junk and put it on my coffee table without breaking eye contact. nasty nasty nasty good. Panning is on point too. Outstanding use of reverse delay or reverb. Panning that snare too. wtf anon. let’s go. joining my top two to form a solid top three.

Intro guitars reminded me of Ghost House from SMW. This track is pretty unique, the plucky and heavily rhytmic sound is awesome. There’s some inverted reverb effects as well? Really cool effects on the production. Playing is also nutty, super tight. I think the only thing this one (maybe) lacks is more of a hook, but it’s really fun to listen to, may be one of my favorites even. Great job!
