Interesting production. Reminds me of early post punk records. Cool synth modulations. Singer dances around some of the notes at times. Not sure if by choice. I like this in a weird way. I like that the vocals are close then far then close. Love the bitcrushed fade.
Production notes: There’s charm in this mix. It could be more balanced, but that could be detrimental. I’m not sure I’d change this.

There’s not much I can commend about this one, but I don’t want to make assumptions about anon’s intentions here. If there was any intent to reference anything, it went completely over my head.

Two Super Hexagon vocal entries back to back is crazy work. There are some neat ideas here, but nothing really feels fleshed out, the arrangement has a SERIOUS lack of drums, this rhythmic bass beat with no drums to complement it makes me feel like I’m floating in the air in a bad way, vocals are fine though the mixing is not doing it any favors, mixing overall feels like a lot of very different things spliced together without much glue. I’m not a fan, but one thing I actually really did like is the glitchy effects here and there, which gives this a stamp of personal charm.

Interesting take with all the electronic sounds vs the echoing vocals, and having the electronics drive the melody. Some of the buzzing sounds from the electronics are slightly distracting and pulled me away from the vocals. Volume also got a bit too loud at times, even if things were in balance overall it just got a touch loud. I do like a lot of the effects and ideas in it, with just using electronics and the echoing vocals – could have just used a bit of clean up in the mix to elevate this

There’s some really neat synth work on this, which I appreciate. As the presumably only live instrument appears to be the vocals though, I gotta harp on intonation – little pitch issues really add up on this one. Some real creative potential here though – keep submitting!

The synth work is the strongest aspect here – some really cool industrial chiptune tones and effects. Unfortunately, the vocals are not doing it for me, the pitch and intonation feels all over the place and the performance needs to be much tighter and focused on holding pitch in order to work for me. Really creative approach, and the chiptune synths are bringing a lot of unique flair to the piece, but the execution definitely has room to be tightened up.
