my post rock band is starting to introduce some vocal stuff now.
At first I wasn't keen but it sounds great and is a good way to set yourselves apart from the "another Explosions/Mogwai clone" bands around
Nice, got any demos up Drew??? It's hard for me as a massive Mogwai fanboi to not want to emulate them, but I think we're forging our own kinda thing
Couple things up on Soundcloud, nothing with vocals or our new bassist yet Though.
It's taking a while, probably a few months away from having a tight gig-able set tbh.
I feel ya, massive Russian Circles fan and I'd love to sound like them, a couple of our songs have a very RC vibe to them but we're careful to introduce some new elements and change shit up so we don't end up sounding too alike.
I'm already in a Datsuns/Led Zep rip off band, should really do something original haha

I detect a very distinctive Slint influence - am I right? It's good to hear you channeling that energy.
In the next mix output you should pan the guitars left and right so there's more stereo separation and clarity.
Cheers Jae!!! Hmmm will have to check with the lads, this was written before I joined and I'm not sure whether they are fans or not
I think my guitar is panned left and right, had two mics on my amp and one room mic, Nate's guitar I'm not sure about, the quiet bit in the start we're playing quite different things, which I guess we would hear more clearly if we messed about with the panning, when we get serious about recording stuff for an EP we're getting someone else to mix them

loving the sudden jarring feel change in the middle. Very cool.
Good to keep the listener on their toes with stuff like that, rather than just "tremolo pick this high note for 6 minutes and progressively get louder and more intense" haha

yarrr I like it too, our opening song starts off really heavy, then goes the other way in the middle, before ramping up again, it's fun to mix things up!!
