Forum postOminous chord progression, which I like. Very strong lyric, too. The music on this one seems a bit drowned in effects (reverb, delay, filters / phase shifter or whatever). The vocal and, I believe, the drums, mainly.

Never Knew The Guy (LW | RG)
I heard you were a gin drinker
who liked to play cards
had a penchant for blondes
and vintage cars
Heard you threw a mean right
had an eagle tattoo
and every day my mother says
I look just like you - just like you
chorus (x2)
*that’s the story they tell me
since you took off one night
they tell me about my father
but I never knew the guy*
You were a varsity jock
who listened to punk
Couldn’t hold a job
‘cause you never gave a fuck
Heard you had a temper
and I have your eyes
Heard you loved my mother
and your mistress on the side - on the side
that’s the story they tell me
since you took off one night
they tell me about my father
but I never knew the guy
bridge:
Water broke on prom night
and you didn’t stick around
You send postcards
from a hundred different towns
Heard I have a sister
hope you treat her well
But as for you, you can go to hell
go to hell
go to hell
that’s the story they tell me
since you took off one night
they tell me about my father
but I never knew the guy
“Fuck that guy.”

really sludgy recording, I think the distorted guitar (?) has overwhelmed your practice-room sound a bit here. I think the song is pretty good but the sound makes it difficult to fully enjoy. The chorus melody is really strong and I like the atmospheric bridge.
I thought about writing about a father figure, but I couldn’t work it out. Nice indie shoegaze-like sound, it sounds like a live recording!
