Very different treatment! I like it! There’s this 70s groovy-ness to it. There were just a few notes that seem a bit ‘off’ but when I listened to it the second time, the track seem to have grown on me. Not really a bother, so I thought I might have been niggling. If it were me, I might spend a bit more time quantizing some parts to have a smoother delivery. Maybe tweak the EQ, experiment with panning to give instrument and vocal layers more room to strut their stuff. Just my 2-cents (then again, maybe this mix just adds to the whole 70s feel).

Cheers Ivan, glad you like. It was having a bit of a relisten to the track from the Twilight album that brought me to the vocal,Great track btw!. I did this super fast so there are some rough edges but thought had some good energy as it was plus I am away from my squire strat during the week nowadays so was on a bit of deadline to publish.

Really fun fun and a great time wharp to the 70ies (my head and feet nodding to the rhythm)!
I would recommend to try some of Ivans advices to give a bit more polish on the track - it is really really worth the efforts!
Again: great music and guitars

Great choice of vocals. Love the backing for this.

Though I find myself wondering what it would sound like if the vocals were extremely dry (maybe even a radio effect) against the lush backing.

That said - I very much like this. Nicely done.

Cheers Colab glad you like. As it happens I had the vocals dry for most of the process but as one my final (not very many) tweaks i added a nice bit of reverb. I had been relistening to some of the primitives the day b4 - this had brought back to me just how much reverb there was back in the good ole days.

I can understand why folks love this- catchy like a Go-Go’s song, but with some dinge, flatter affect, and snarl to replace any too-bright chlorox sheen of plastic sunshine

Cheers! glad you noticed the little bit of snarl.

Wow! Right down my alley….any chance of posting some stems? Those guitars just scream 70’s and drive with an irresistable urge. Cool!
