feels so cinematic

...

public
extraordinarily simple song. electric guitar with tremolo panned left, vocals panned right. super simple arrangement

...

public
love this solo, starts on the 2 beat and plays over the barline

seems like the guitar player is building off his work on album art for Ego Death (feat. Steve Vai)Ego Death (feat. Steve Vai), he has a similarly shreddy solo on that song

...

public
similar instrumentation between this album and album art for Spring SpringSpring Spring as well. good blueprint for synths and guitar in indie pop

...

public
super cool call and response between guitar and synth/keys, before they go in unison. very cool breakdown

...

public
some crazy pinch harmonic action here
reminds me of parts of the solo from album art for My Old SchoolMy Old School

...

public
fantastic guitar fills (and guitar solo) on this

...

public
the intro to this has the same chords (and leading tones) as album art for Someday My Prince Will ComeSomeday My Prince Will Come

...

public
this song has no lyrics, just choral vocals. love the sound of voices soaring over a sea of guitars bass and drums

...

public
cutting out everything into the bass slide is disgustingly good

...

public
this is the theme song of an incredibly powerful character in this anime. gives the same feeling of being an incredibly capable, powerful and arrogant deity as album art for Voodoo Child (Slight Return)Voodoo Child (Slight Return)

...

public
horn section does a great buildup into the guitar solo

...

public
the timefeel in this reminds me of album art for Clair de luneClair de lune

both piano pieces that have an airy and drifty timefeel. might be the same 9/8 time signature

...

public
tom drums in this go crazy

...

public
reprise of the opening riff, slightly changed to fit the rhythm of the lyrics

quite difficult to sing this while playing the riff! the rhythms don't line up exactly. a testament to hendrix' skill as a songwriter

...

public
fantastic guitar solo here, with a great drum buildup to build up into it

very bendy, not super shreddy, incredible tone

...

public
same mix of hyperpop lyrics and prog/math guitar riffs that make album art for ABC (feat. Sophia Black)ABC (feat. Sophia Black) so catchy

...

public
guitar song about being really good at playing the guitar. like album art for The Devil Wears a Suit and TieThe Devil Wears a Suit and Tie

...

public
when listening to this in college, the climax would make me think of this poem:


...

public
i played on this. probably my best released guitar work to date, im quite proud of the solos on this track

was listening to a lot of bluegrass and country when we wrote this song and i think it shows in the picking

...

public
i played the solo on this. some of the bends are out of tune lol

after the more shreddy solos on album art for Sunshine BabySunshine Baby, i wanted to play something bendier, so i did my best to channel some david gilmour, like on album art for Comfortably NumbComfortably Numb.

...

public
love how the synth cuts out to just funky rhythm guitar here

...

public
very mk.gee inspired production! it has that baritone guitar sound to it. great guitar work on this track, some cool harmonics and riffs

reminds me of album art for Are You Looking UpAre You Looking Up

...

public
the lyrics here are about early memories of music and her first tries at making music with FL studio

"FL studio free download in my search history"

reminds me of staying up late making video games in high school

...

public
cool bass harmonics on this

...

public
godlike rumbly bass tone

...

public
apparently CSIRAC was Australia's first computer (ninajirachi is from australia)

...

public
"fuck my computer" is such a great hook for a song

...

public
i don't normally like edm but i really like this album

might have to change my mind!

...

public
banging bass on the intro here

...

public
super experimental track that starts with a singing bowl and consists mostly of guitar feedback and a single strummed chord

...

public
super jazzy piano solo on this

...

public
Because of my memories listening to this during Thanksgiving, this song has a very autumnal feel to me. Might also be because the album art has orange/red autumnal colors

...

public
the banjo and the harp have similar (very trebly) timbre, so it almost sounds like they're the same instrument. their voices blend together, like the high and low notes on a piano

...

public
some truly incredible double bass playing here

...

public
makes me want to dance

...

public
disgustingly groovy playing. sick bassline, and the piano has an incredible latin feel to it

...

public
fantastically jazzy cover of album art for What You Won't Do for LoveWhat You Won't Do for Love

...

public
one of the first things we did in my first nyc apartment with my housemates was playing this on our new record player

...

public
i like the piano intro on this
