astroid-midnight city
Release
-->
don't know if this is any good or not.
don't know if it's done.
opinions are greeted with a freindly grit of the teeth
it has a beat, but the beat sux
lyrics:
la changes at night
in the damp tan light
i am the town
highway takes you from your destination
past cardboard houses with no mailbox
and black burning mountains of tires
look! the midnight city is on fire
the princes in their hedgemaze
of concrete and cocaine
benzedrine and propane
they all know where we're going
highway dinosaurs
slip the ground toward the shore
back to the sea, indeed
up above the atmosphere is rumbling
satellites are falling down like water
ten generals apply for sainthood
look! the midnight city is on fire
like all la film buffs
i see the city blown up
climate change and comets
fires earthquake riot
my city, my midnight city will survive
phantom voices singing on the sidewalk
rounding up apostles for the jury
noah's in the street doing a raindance
look! the midnight city is on fire
upper, lower classes,
under overpasses
running with the masses
running from the fascists
the midnight city
the midnight city
look! the midnight city is on fire
my city
my midnight city
my midnight city will survive

reminds me of elliott smith.
i'd like to hear more instruments playing, real cellos and violins, banjos, accordeons, gambas you name it!
i like the doubling of the voices, gimme more of that - joanna newsom style.
this has potential, good work astroid!

classic Bru.
really like the changes and the thick vocal stacks during verses.
strings are good, but I'd like deeper and creamier strangs. Do you have a Celeste or something that can make Celeste sounds? that would be perfect for this - like along with the xylophone parts.
scottbruzenak.com! wtf? sweet

This is awesome man. Listening on the shitty speakers and it sounds great.
Like the unpredictability of it all, the instrumentation and your voice.
Doubled love. Very 70's.

Nice.
A little more verb on voice, maybe?
It's really close and intimate.

This is a beautiful song, love the sound, the atmosphere. The singing is superb as well, very sweet (bittersweet?).
