Don’t Run Anymore / Pop Alternative by Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods

Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Don’t Run Anymore / Pop Alternative

Reviewer: Simon Finn

Positive Comments: There is the hint of a hook at the beginning, and there are some good ideas scattered throughout the song.

Constructive Comments: Arrangement – needs work – just a drum machine and a guitar gives no “light and shade”. The recording of the guitar is not rhythmically in time with the drum either, leaving the listener feeling uneasy. Harmonically there is too much time spent on the main tonic chord. This, combined with the unvaried arrangement means that the listen soon loses interest. Try working with a collaborator who is good at song editing, or try this with words in order to give the whole thing some structure.
