that is a great beat here it reminds me of an early industrial song I used to listen to by front 242,.. I really like the meanings and layers of meaning... going on with these lyrics- that underbeat demands action for the denial - yeah
Song 5 for the RPM Challenge. Building tunes around an incessant bass line is oddly appealing to me. This is a bit of a dystopian song of sorts. Thanks to anyone who listens!
Take me to the river
and hold me under water
Bow down beside…
My 7th song for the 2022 RPM challenge. This one is a bit more pensive and slow moving. I always love adding harmony. I was thinking of Bjork (who I love) when I wrote it. I included some flute so my sister can play along next time we jam…
Well...This is song #10 for my 2022 RPM challenge- the final track for my "album". It's a bit like two songs that found each other somehow. That makes for a very long track! eek. Thank you to everyone who has been listening to my songs...it…
That combination of your vocals and the instrumentals is fascinating; your voice has a noir feel to it but then that bass line and drums that come in midway take the track in a completely different direction!

Song 2 for the RPM Challenge. Wrote this at the piano and then had fun trying all sorts of spontaneous vocal harmonies. Switching time signatures for the chorus made for some challenging recording!

The calluses from all this bass playing are coming along nicely! This is another RPM song (song 6) where I built the song from a little bass riff. The lyrics include some quotes and/or references - pick them out and win a prize (ha ha…
If you perform, and I find myself in Montreal this summer, I need to check out that show! What an amazing collection you've put together as part of RPM challenge.

Ohhhh, this I like a lot! I hear the Bjork, but I'm also getting a lot of a Sade vibe during the verse, which is a peanut butter and chocolate combination that I would have never expected. I want more!
Song 9# for my RPM 2022. I don't know how it happened, but I ended up with a bit of an alternative quasi-delta blues here. I walk a lot of country roads at night so..... The harmonies were fun. Thanks to anyone who listens! Onward…
Dig the variety of styles track to track with your voice being the only obvious connective tissue. This is a nice take on the Delta Blues style, clear influence, but it doesn’t seems derivative or like a pastiche.

This is really interesting. Beautiful harmony, and I like how light the production is without being simple.
BTW, thanks for the listens and comments. I just kept on cranking away on FAWM, but I appreciated them.

Beautiful. It's interesting that you can look at the visualizer and SEE where they first find each other. Your album is really the highlight of this year's RPM for me.

It’s been a fun February listening to both you and Andrew Russe achieve your goals. You have ended up with 10 songs, well crafted and recorded in a way that makes them interesting.
Well done!

It does feel like light! Great guitar riffs there and the effects are cool. Multiple guitars ....really great feel and some unusual changes in the progression. Nice ending.
Clarinet played into an empty tube that formerly held a bottle of Scotch, which may have had some unconscious influence on the rough melodic form. Picked up by two contact mics into a Zoom H4n recorder. Submitted to Sound-In for 26/2-4/3/2021.
I love this. Has a great feel and I love the rawness of it. I love Patty Smith and she would appreciate this song I'm sure!! I would have liked to be her friend :)

I hear that bass line under it all,.. like a river dripping out of the sky.
I like this energy --- "and your hollow follower that changes like a new wind in the night."
great chill song - I like the whole thing --- "when my fire burns my mind -it blinds me to your falling heart." :)
Very nice work and a beautiful voice.
Utterly magnificent set of tracks. Wonderful stuff.
This is the only one I hadn't commented on already or favourited already. I wanted to favourite them all again :)

Smooth and silky. I feel compelled to finish listening to the whole album as it is absolutely ear candy. Wonderful work:)
Great harmonies! And you've a great voice! Been at it a while?
So pretty and sweet
Am I allowed to comment twice? So tasty. This could easily be one of the best songs I have heard in a few years.

Very cool....I like the experimental feel of it. The Scotch bottle is an awesome technique!!!

cool - I love the vibe!!!! Haunting. Seriously ...love it. It's like being in the ocean.
very peaceful and nice mix of instrumentation. btw - love your band name.
This is very meditative and cool. Seriously beautiful - wow, I would love to sing to it (I actually am while I'm listening).
