Absolutely my style of song. One of my favorite voices in the whole competition, and the harmonies are catchy. This is a song I’d listen to outside the competition, it’s so tight. Reminds me a tiny bit of Rilo Kiley, which is my second favorite band of all time. Huge props.

My absolute favorites are Faster Jackalope, Frankie Big Face, Rain Watt, Vowl Sounds.

us! Another one that took a lot of work, there were mixes of this song that were a minute shorter and longer than the actual length it ended up being! It was worth the effort though, I think this came out sounding great.

Dissing your ex’s next? If even there’s nothing to it, people would read a lot into that. I liked the reference to your first song. I also like the “Charlie Brown adult or pissed-off Sim” line. Your voice is almost too sweet to be dissing people. That actually did feel a little out of place. But overall nice work. Picked a target, and went after her...or him. Guess it depends on if I’m reading too much into it. ;p

I think VV was slightly dreading this challenge, but I guess I'm more mean-spirited than him. Or maybe just more American and willing to be rude. But I relished the process of coming up with some nasty things to say! And I loved the power pop instrumental Vom came up with and all the dynamic arrangement changes and flourishes once we got the structure settled--my favorite little touch is the triumphant synth note heading into the chorus after the "fine and empty space" break.

Also, my dumb cat wouldn't leave me alone when I was trying to record vocals for this, and I ran out of time to listen back to all my tracks before sending them over to Vom Vorton Saturday night, so I just attached three takes of the main vocal track and asked him to check for cat sounds and try to comp together the good takes. Attached for your enjoyment is an outtake he sent back, "Pump The Catnip" ft. Miss Lily Kitty. And cat tax.
