Harmonica/melodica catches my ear right away. It’s a bop. Nice solos, and really sweet ending.
-
Straight forward concept that is very well executed. Instrument performances are on point here. Nothing much to say except fantastic job anon. very impressive
-
Very cool arrangement of this source, I’d never know how to arrange this, this does it pretty spectacularly for the style it’s going for. Mix is rough, but I guess it’s the point to go for a kinda lofi vibe, hell it even has that quality that makes it sound like it’s coming out of an old CRT TV. Playing is fun and complex both in the melodica and acoustic guitar, if maybe a little too loose on that melodica (I’m personally not a fan of the frequent minor seconds). This gets points for creativity.

I never thought I’d thoroughly enjoy a Crash entry, but here we are! Amazing guitar skills, and excellent taste. Sound effects give this extra points and keep it thematic. I look forward to more entries from this anon.

Nice stomp feel to open this, gives it that more old time swing feeling. Sound fidelity feels off, but also helps to give more of a 1920’s style swing/jazz band. Very interesting instrumentation for this, is it harmonica and banjo? Drum brush beat is very well balanced. Guitar comes in with a very nice clean tone, and a very technical solo. Only quibble I have with this is I could have used a touch more bass to help drive the low end – but otherwise well done anon!

Production feels indeed a bit lo-fi or “vintage” but it kind of works to the point where I’m 50/50 whether it was a stylistic choice of not. Either way, the arrangement is just pure fun and I love those slidey tremolo picking parts with the guitar, as well as the inclusion of the accordion(?).

Ooo nice. Is that a melodica? Whatever it is it sounds great! Oh sick acoustic playing. The guitar and melodica? are EQ’d very differently though, and the acoustic guitar feels very “hot” when you’re really digging into the strings. That said, this is a sick arrangement and the mix notes are not keeping me from enjoying this!

Title describes what we’re getting into, a fun swing vibe with guitar and accordion. Playing here is very good, I’m not much of an accordion expert but it sounds great and the guitar has some passages that sound tough as hell. As a nitpick I don’t think the recording quality is that good but maybe it’s an intentional effect from the anon for that old music feel?
Anyway, this is great, way out of my expertise to comment much but I enjoyed it.

I said it during the LP – but I love me a track that sounds like I could hear it wandering through the streets of … Idk this one kind of would fit in new orleans if you guys had a clarinet!! Well played y’all!
The mixing no the acoustic (resonator?) guitar lead is BLINDINGLY loud to me – it just really sticks out over everything else to my ears. It doesn’t sound bad it’s just a bit loud so ez fix LOL
