The darkness in your eyesPuts me on the edge of knowing and unknownWhat's to happen nextNo one knows but the heart that beats in silence

I absolutely love the chord progression and the vibe of the intro. My foot cannot help but tap along. Great Cure-like guitars. Your voice in this one reminds me a bit of Bryan Ferry - though it seems a little too high in the mix. At times they've also got a Matt Johnson of The The vibe. Great mix, too - every instrument has its own sonic space and I can make out everything perfectly. Wow - where did that break come from after the second chorus? That's crazy....it went into theatre-rock territory. It's a bit scary - but I like that.
Love the distinctive vocals on this. Has a presence that reminds me a tad of David Byrne. Very quirky piece of music that really works for me. Love the way you throw yourself into it Beau. Really like the mix of instrumentation in the intro. The drop back to bass, guitar and drums behind the vocals works well with the guitars and other instruments (there's quite a bit happening) dropping in intermittently. IMHO the vocals may have been recorded just a tad too loud. There's just a hint of distortion when you really get going. It might also be worth looking at maybe dropping the vocals back in the mix a bit. They are pretty dominating and there's some really nice things happening in the backing track that are maybe getting a little lost. But those are minot quibbles. It's a great track. The 3:11 change into the ending could never have been expected. Congrats on a great piece of work.
Cheers
