I really am not a fan of this. It should be working for me and I can't quite describe what it is that stops it moving up from average to brilliant in my soggy brain. Sorry about that.

I like the lyrical approach to this, but the mix isn't working. You have a similar problem to Berkeley Social Scene this week; the lead vocal is a little TOO present in the mix. I'd recommend very cautiously either turning the fader down, or investigating the EQ of your vocal track for a spot that you might be able to lower without sacrificing the character of your voice. The other complaint I have, and I think this might be the one that regrettably got you cut in the end, is that the background vocal just isn't tight. There are spots in the song where it sounds like the harmony line is searching around for the right note before it lands there. I really do appreciate this as a link between your previous two songs. I think functionally it's stronger as a prelude to "Pareidolia" than as a sequel to "Semiprecious," but that might be because I liked your "Pareidolia" better than your "Semiprecious." Ah well. It's a pity you got the axe.
