A song about a fish

Remixed this quirky tune that came out a few years ago.
Yes we like Primus and Skeleton Key.
Thanks for listening.

    There's a band called *skeleton key?!*  I just wrote a halloweeny song called that! Have they trademarked their name?  *make amurica great again* was trademarked can you believe that?!
     
    The drums sound incredibly good on this.  I need to take some lessons from you.  The eagle-eye view of the song though is that it needs some more contrast.  It's a little repetitive.

    Thanks for the feedback. Used a Audix D6 for the kick mic. SM57 for snare and some cheap overheads which I sweetened up with Soundtoys plugins.
     
    Yea they're a great band from NY. Been around a while now.

    I really enjoyed this piece.  I'm reminded of King Crimson of the 80's.  They used repetition, too, but very creatively.  They added and/or took away various elements with each pass.  I look forward to hearing more of you in the future.

    All the best,
    Lynn

    I liked it, too! Your doubled guitars are punchy as all heck. How did you record them, twas it an amp sim?
     
    My apologies if I was grooving too hard to catch anything about a fish.
     
    cheers,
    -Tom

    Thanks Tom.
    Yea the guitars were recorded direct then Guitar Rig 5 for distortion.
    Then I copy guitars to stereo track, hi pass till about 350Hz, send to wide chorus or microshift plug, mix in SUBTLY with dry guitar. I do this for a lot of the mono instruments to get a wider more sparkling top end.

    yea..this was a fun tune...I would have like to head a bit more bottom end overall to rubble this beast...but its a very cool concept.
     
    good work!

    Dan,
      Loved the motif starting at :55 ish and reappearing later.  I can definitely hear the Primus influence, nice stuff.  I, like my bandmate The Pogue, would like to hear a bit more low end...just my pref.  But that being said, this is a very cool tune and it sounds great!  Nice work.
