I’ve been Carnival’d! Pretty slick groove here KS. A very dark and twisted tale of something weird that is going on at the carnival. ;)

really great! This song is very catchy, with your nice vocals. The screams are great, I did the “Sign of the horns” with my hand at the last scream :) The happy part fits perfectly with the scream parts, and it’s a great contrast!! Grats Kara

ps: i hope you paste the lyrics if you can, i want understand your story in the song ^^ must be crazy :)

Sweet- “Sign of the horns.” :D I don’t think I’ve ever made a song before that would create that reaction. Yes- the lyrics. They’re actually quite boring… just an innocent little carnival… ;) (I’ll post them later… gotta run now…)

You’re one of a kind Kara! Very catchy and definitely humourous in true Kara style.

Thank ya’, Deb! The catchiness actually drove me a wee bit crazy while mixing. :) Glad you get my humor!

You made coffee come out of my nose at that first deep “CAR-NA-VUL”!
I want to rent one of those sound-system-on-a-flatbed trucks and treat the city to this, block by block.

Thanks, AA! That deep ‘carnival’ was me! :D As well as the screaming… my throat was sore for days!

Whut you???? Without any pitch alteration? I’ll have to hear more of that!!

permalink   Kara Square Mon, Jun 18, 2012 @ 7:40 AM
Yup, no pitch alteration. I was just being silly, but I’ll keep it in mind for future oddities! :D

Any chance you might upload the vocal stem for this? Think I could use those screams. They’re awesome!

I apologize, but I must disagree… You are MOST CERTAINLY mega-town worthy to the MAX! Now, if you were making a Wayne’s World reference, I’ll bow down with ya’ and we’ll say it to all these incredible ccMIXTER-ERS! YAHH??? Flippin’ amazing Secret Mixter. I’ll have a great time continuing my listening tomorrow at my dreaded day job. Thanks for listening, Em. I’m really, really glad you get me.

Fantastic!! This definitely has a fun, happy carnival groove to it. I love your scream as you go through spook house. Not to mention your skillful cohesion of all those samples! And did I hear a touch of your own ukelele? You’re amazing.

I love your scream as you go through spook house.
I hadn’t thought of it like that! Awesome perspective… I just thought I was screaming!

Yup, I’ve become a ukulele playin’ fiend. Seriously. Can’t put it down! (I’m actually working on a solo album right now consisting exclusively of ukulele love songs.)

Thank you, Ben!!!

I think I have finally stumbled upon the truth… Kara you are a Ukelele-Playing-Carnival-Attending Superhero!!! To borrow a phrase from a modern day sage… Kara, I Heart Your Brain!
Cheers!

“And so… here you have a metal-folk-screamo-noise-rock fusion!” You’re Hilarious Square Kara! It’s very similar to norwegian black metal spiced up with some folk doom ukulele trash, only different. Love, b.k.

I wish I had thought of that description! You, too, are hilarious, my friend. Thanks for listening, b.k.!

Wacky! Wonderful! Warped! So ready for the visuals! Oh my gosh — laugh out loud delight at all the fun things you did with your voice! I can smell the sticky sweetness of the cotton candy and feel the sensory overload of being there! Bravo, my dear! Bravo!

Very concept albumy (i guess that isn’t a word!!) I could really hear this as like a Sgt. Pepper-esque/ Magical Mystery Tour opening & closing theme on a collection of songs…fun stuff—really great!

Well, that’s a flattering comparison… Thanks for listening and for the kind feedback!
