"CLOSER THAN THAT CAT" { live demo }


another kinda sloppy live demo, raw, with no production and no vocal layering etc... an odd song w/ bit of a spontaneous power trio jam towards the end. recorded with no click; lots of bleed...something weird is going on as well with the reverb plate on Rob's snare; i think the gate may have been left way too open. it is what it is... honest/ minimalistic  


CLOSER THAN THAT CAT {live demo}
© DAREN THOMAS TURNER / MRI 

there by the corner
the street became water
washing over puddles of the melted stones
i took the paper
and waited 'till later
and suddenly a while left me room to roam
the sun will set
the sun will rise
and so it will for the rest of my life
you can bet that there's no device
i am closer than that
i am the cat and i will eat your mouse
i am closer than this
i never miss a chance to break you down
there by the corner
the street became older
the lighting of the lamps was by an old man's hand
he dined on witchcraft
on vodoo and carcass
shouting at the heavens while he cursed the land
the tides will ebb
and the tides will flow
and what it means i just don't know
oh well i guess that's how it goes
i am closer than that
i am the cat and i will eat your mouse
i am closer than this
i never miss a chance to break you down


Daren Thomas Turner: guitar, vocals
Rob Wilson: drums
Daniel Denial: bass

    I like this....

    on this computer the bass seems a bit "blurry" and perhaps a tad to loud. 

    I would also bump the vox... but you said this was a live take..... so if it is what it is.... 

    Not bad... like I said I like the song.

    In spite of all the disclaimers, this is another good song by ABV.  Live recording is a beast all its own.  It still shows off enough talent to be impressive.  Good songwriting usually trumps all, and this looks like a trump card to me.

    All the best,
    Lynn

    Live? I'm impressed and think you have catch everything in this Hendrix, Stones, Beatles (#9) and your very own sound ABV - I must check out the other songs as well. Great work. Edit: Reverse is so Beatles good LOL is also something I like.

    you know I've already commented elsewhere but thought I'd give you a bump mate - great noise
