Wow... Really like the song, man. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hey, if you're interested, I liked this so much, I'd love to give it a try
recording acoustic drums with it... (I run a recording studio based
entirely off Linux, and have been drumming for 20 years). If you wouldn't
mind, could I get a copy of the tracks, to mess around with it? *Great*
vocals, man. Just great. Loved it.
Let me know.
Thanks!

So true.
Recently a friend attempted to lure me out of musical retirement by asking
me to help mix a record. (It was kind of fun, but, alas, I've lost my taste
for the detail work, like cutting and tweezing and trimming individual
syllables out of vocal tracks, etc).
Apparently the trend nowadays in indie pop is to drown entire mixes in
reverb (and use old analog tape, so the mix sounds like you're hearing it
through thick wall of gauze).
On sparse mixes I like ambience, or if the song's feel calls for it, but
if there's a lot going on in the mix, I tend to reduce the reverb to
asymptotically approaching zero. That was not what the guy wanted, so I
don't think I'll be doing much mixing for anyone.
Analog fetishism, on the other hand, has been discussed here at length
many times, and I don't intend to rehash it. However, after recently
listening to Wish You Were Here, I was struck with how much time, work, and
money the Abbey Road/EMI engineers put into making analog tape sound as
clear back as digital can get now-- even the cheapest consumer digial gear
today can get that clean today.
In matters of art and taste, one can't really argue.

i can't claim to have heard a *lot* of your vocal performances dave,
but it seems to me that you're getting better and better, or at least
were having a very good day with this one. minor production issues
aside, really nice.
What if there ARE no production issues, and everything you're hearing
was intended? Then my friends, it's called ART.
