reminds me of minus the bear, in a good way
Love this production
This is really good. You weave such cool rhythm lines with your guitar. Love the build up...A wonderful musical experience
Great track, sounds nice
Lee
Very well done! I'm only a starting artist but from what I hear your percussion is amazing but still needs works...You seem based off strings and your drummer is amazing but fitting it in seems hard...beautiful music though and I wish I had your drummer. :)
