Vocal Week - Day 4b : Signal Chain

Ok, so I mentioned that Erica rocked this song earlier today, and here’s our evidence.

I love this song. I think I mentioned that before. There’s something that just does it for me on this one. Perhaps it was because it was written in one sitting with no revisions, perhaps because I think it’s a muscular, densely packed lyric, who knows.

I love so much about this tune. I love the arpeggiated guitar part. I love the interaction between the bass and the drums. I love how it’s totally understated and reserved and then just explodes in the bridge. I love how the rhodes just seems to swallow everything up.

Again… rough mix. Listening to the bounce, I think I was perhaps a little buckwild with delays and reverbs. Good thing I’m not mixing…
