Description:
A really simple jam, quick and easy, using both of the chords I know. Barely coherent. Really just an excuse to make a bunch of noise. And those confounded, hypercritical crows didn't help matters. Thanks for listening.

are the vocals parrots who imitates crows?
a voice would be good for this song. you've used more than 2 chords i noticed. I like this "lumbering" stuff.

You're on to me Eckleiste. &mdash 09/04/08 - 10:42:34 AM
In fact, yes, the parrots were hired as voice actors. Crows are such prima donnas. They made several unreasonable demands, which we need not go into here, upon advice of my attorneys.

You're too modest &mdash 09/04/08 - 05:27:34 AM
Two chords? Well there's a pretty rich soundscape there. Never heard crow vocals before but they blend really nicely. Excellent guitar work!

Too modest? &mdash 09/04/08 - 10:47:51 AM
Haha. Well, after posting such a threadbare tune, immodesty would be disingenuous at best. Glad you liked the vocals. The lyrics aren't much up to snuff, however. Thanks, Rebsie.

Heavy man.... &mdash 09/05/08 - 02:31:38 PM
Great guitar work. There's a certain almost souther style that creeps in while maintaining a good metal cru=nchy slo-vibe. Nicely done... bird squawks and all.

Southern flavor ... &mdash 09/05/08 - 09:34:22 PM
Yeah, makes sense. The birds are from Mississippi. Thanks for the nice comment.

awesome &mdash 09/05/08 - 05:49:53 PM
love the crows. ever hear of Hatebeak? they have a parrot for a singer. seriously. they run him through a fuzz box and slow it down, so he ends up sounding like the singer from a cookie monster metal band (cannibal corpse maybe). anyways, I digress, this is awesome. i am always blown away by your productions, what skills and sensibilities. nice job.

Hatebeak ... &mdash 09/05/08 - 09:38:20 PM
well, I've heard of them now. Thanks. I looked them up on wikipedia and listened to one of their songs on youtube. Well, it's too late now. I should have stuck with my original plan to use hyenas. Hey, thanks for the nice words. Much appreciated.

yes yes &mdash 09/09/08 - 08:00:38 PM
This grabs you by the crow. Great guitar by the way.. progressive in a metal kind of way like when the expanded guitar parts comes in, also the synth adds a nice atmosphere to it . Very cool

Ouch. That can ruin your whole day. Thanks for the compliments, EB! Watch out for my upcoming tune featuring a herd of crazed wombats.
