Positive Comments: I found the production cool and intriguing. Especially some of the dirtier aspects. You could have gone further in the industrial / dirty direction and it would have worked well. Made it have a few more sharp teeth and a bit more grit – but you’d have a careful balancing act to retain the motion of the song and its laid back gravel. I enjoyed the Leonard Cohen esque voice and the song has a real cool factor.
Constructive Comments: There’s no sub category for Americana in the choices but I didn’t think it fitted in the folk category. I couldn’t really make out the lyrics so maybe bringing the voice out further in front would have helped the message of the song. In my opinion some tightening up on the structure could make this really ‘poke’…I listened to 3.5 minutes of it and it felt that this would have been the ideal length. Bringing in the B section at this point was a bit like introducing a new character 200 pages into a novel & that didn’t work for me. Just personal opinion though. I like things snappy in general. I felt like it was so nearly there in so many ways, but just needed some tidying up.
