A friend asked me to come up with parts for keys on his album. But even if I wasn't on it, I'd still be jamming to it as much as I do now. It's not often that I get to work on a project that I really dig.

But because it's not my personal project, I don't feel right uploading the whole album here. Instead, I wanted to give you a taste, and I encourage you to check it out at the links below.

I love the quirky, glitchy vibe at the beginning and the smooth vocals. The content of the lyrics is also really good. The production quality is fantastic, and the angelic vocals at around :45 are great. I really like the crisp, mellow drums and the variety in the vocal textures here. This piece is both relaxing and thought-provoking. The rap part at around 2:45 was also really good, although I might've liked to hear the vocals be a bit stronger in the mix there. The texture here is really smooth and flowing, and I love the variations on the chorus at the 4-minute mark. If I had to complain about one thing, it might be that the instrumental track could use a stand-out moment, as the instrumental hierarchy is pretty similar throughout the piece. That said, the variety in the vocals and the overall tone of the piece sell it really well. Fantastic work overall, everyone! ^^

Oi is there a point in replying after over a month and a half? Well, It's been a super busy December, and I'm getting back into the hang of things now. If you took the time to write out your thoughts about the piece, it is the least I can do to say thank you. I, too, really think the rap part brings the whole piece to a nice finish, and I also agree with you that I prefer having more instruments being more in the forefront of a mix/arrangement. However, it's the mixing style for the genre they were going for where the vocals ride over the top, and the instrumentals are more reserved. I understand it, but I always preferred a dirty mix such as the classic albums in the Rolling Stones, or the musical lyrics that blend well with the music as in Radiohead and M83. This is their baby, though.

Lookin forward for more stuff you guys gonna be collaborate :)

Edit. I fucking love the atmosphere. it's pure ear candy... this song is pro level... :O

Phonometrologist responds:

Thanks for the cool review. It was a lot of fun doing it, and through this collab, I found an engineer that I would love to work with in the future. Brok is the man behind the mix and mastering.
