Pretty cool sounding, it's not the sort of thing I'd usually listen to, but this one is good enough to listen to the whole thing. Interesting lyrics and the 'fx sounds' are unusual

I'm not into those vocal stylings at all Tim, but I think the music in the track is really good!

Thanks for your time, what about the vocal stylings are you not keen on?

Sorry, didn't mean it was poorly done, just not something I listen to.

Love the tune bro! The music is fresh, everything works incredibly well for the most part. Your vocal reminds me big time of some artists back in New Zealand from a handful of years back, there were a few great names over there doing a similar thing.

Nice one

Vocals are great. It's the distorted/filtered strings that I have question about. They seem a little too over the top for me. In some parts they seem a little to filtered and I can't follow them as much as I'd like to. Maybe that's the sound you were going for but I would roll that back a little so they don't detract too much from those great vox.
Very different from many things I've heard recently and that's good. Very refreshing.

How did you get that string sound? Just curious.

Nicely done.......

I really like the music a lot. Its refreshingly unique for this flavor of "pop". I almost wish you would let the music breathe a little, as it feels like the song is filled from beginning to end with vocals. It seems kind of rushed through vocally, but thats probably necessary for the genres you are brushing up against in this track. However, the lyrics are clever enough and catchy to keep this from being too syruppy sweet.
Really liked it. Nice production and recording. The very end lets the music breathe a little, but I am in agreement with danielmm that the strings seem awkwardly warm in the mix and seem to choke it slightly. Hope this was the kind of feedback you were looking for. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the listen, I really appreciate it

DanielM, Jazzyspoon: I made the string sound from some one hits and some recorded arpegiations(horrible spelling), layered with a pad so very much put towards the back to gel the one hits and arp's together. It was made in a Combinator in Reason 3.04.

Yea about the strings, to me strings are so tricky musical/mixing wise. There is so much you can do with them, and the way they are mixed can affect the whole mood of a song. the way they are now kinda is a happy medium, see i tried opening them up and they kinda buried everything else, but when i filtered them a bit, they actually seemed to add a bit of eerieness that i liked. it seemed like a good fit at the time, but like anything with mixing, some things can always be tweaked

Thanks again for the listens and comments
