Astoundingly good on every level: songwriting, performance, tone, mixing and mastering. Love the little details such as the delay on the bass.
But why is it so short (3:23)? Is that the whole song or just a teaser? I want to hear the rest of it!
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

I agree with Bit - outstanding. It was hard to understand the lyrics, but that's all. Great song.

Interesting. Personally I would have liked a bit more bottom end but that's just me. It is good work.

Does seem a little light on the bottom, but this is very good. Loved the whole thing from start to finish.

That made me smile.  This type of thing is right up my alley. The song is really cool, the mix sounds great, and yeah... I can definitely hear just a bit of PF influence lurking around. Good stuff!

Thanks SteveC and Philz Much appreciated. Here's the lyrics to sing along to :) Cited in folklore as words from the wise a true conspirator with the darkest of eyes Scanning the land like a sky-high priest alerts his allies and revels in the feast Raucous and agile with a sleight of hand known by many as a pillager of the land A problem solver of the corvid type unlike the ways of the illusive Snipe

I liked the crisp mix against the individual distorted sounds of the instruments. I agree the vocals were a bit difficult to make out but overall it was a cool sound.

Bass sound is dynamite! Really grabbed me. Assume it's a real person playing a real bass? Great job!

Nice video and the music tight and cool . The vocals could use more volume , very hard to understand the lyrics you were singing .
Everything was spot on , like your video and the music .
