reminds me of the mountain goats. perhaps it's perfect the way it is. The guitar has flourish and restraint. The lyrics are smart and the vocals play with vulnerability, though perhaps expanding on the emotion shown by the singer could give the whole song more of the depth you are looking for by adding instruments.

Solid singing, and I like the lyrics. You can tell there was thought put into them.

Embarrassingly I assigned the wrong channel while recording drums and lost some stuff. Should be more low-end drums. Oh, well. Such is life in February.

@fudgetusk Sort of -- I imagine we got to the weirdness similar ways (i.e. naturally by being weird people).
