Nice performance, Liked the guitar. the vocals work. At least you went to the effort to write, perform record and post this number. For that you at least deserve a bit of credit. well done

Hi Mike (West), I have joined for less than 3 months and have been tracking your songs. I have to admit that I share Pyramis' comments to a certain extent BUT this song here shows great improvement over your past ones. At least the backings and melody are nice. Do look into refining your vocals, adding chorus and extra backings/layerings and I'm sure the song will sound even better. Nice effort.
Another Mike

I won't blow smoke up your **** like some others here will.
Song idea is ok,performance is lackluster & boring,no hook reaches out & grabs me by the ear.
Like I say,the idea is good,just needs more work.Vocals are lacking any emotion;they don't convince me that there is any feeling or passion behind them at all.
Recording is decent,just work on developing some hooks and make the vocals real.
Hope to hear more from you as you try to develop your style.
Peace,

Is it really what you call lo-fi, or is it just a trick to avoid critics ?
I have to admit that I like Omphalos and Conversation. The takes are not so bad and I like the presence of sounds (but I'm a fan of proximity effect !). The detuned singng is not a problem to me, as the "unemotional" voicing : in fact I think it could be a real strength with ironic lyrics. I'm always interested in what people can do when they play with their lacks, far more interested than in skills exhibition.
My own stuff is rather dirty, but I like it, as well as my detuned rhodes, my old tele or my beautiful roadster. Go on boy !
