FUCCIN, Got a Lot 2 Say About This Record; thinking really happy - u realized NTSC gauzepop doesn't have to be 8 minutes long, bleed into shhhhhhhhhuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeesssssshhhhhhhhhh and go nowhere. Maybe too much sauce on the vox espec in don't dream which i lovvv<3 >",,"< i understand that u know i struggle with this same problem n i don't want to do the jason pierce/trevr hollAnd thing but u do it real welle bro. "Montana" is like a little heavy on time 2 pretend 2 pastiche 2 on-trend which is tough 3 me b/c the key-tar lines arr fucking so GGGoode. Its rad that the songs are kind of A/B pairs like that. "Slime Crown" showing growth if I can make one suggestion i would say compress or aggravate the verb plates a little they take up a lot of ear-space n that hurts dynamixxx


thnx bro otm re: montana & i will deffo try compressing the verby shit more, esp w/r/t vocals i'm usually tryin 2 learn 2 sing n learn to try to mix vocals correctly simultaneous w/ zany results <3 u ^______________^ u like

Not questioning the first, just the logic behind the second.

Plenty of great shit has come out of the Twin Cities. Like this. Good job man.

i usually get the impression that people pretty much think i suck here

i don't really have any affection for the twin cities or the music scene here

i like gay beast and some moon glyph stuff but i mean i'd get booed off the stage at a gay beast show, i've never felt like i fit in here at all

i think "it's weird that it came from minnesota" comments are justifiable
