A quick bit of nonsense:

She Already Knows

Have at it.

Great stuff. I like it. Reminds me of some band I used to listen, Dead Brothers, Le Loup Garou or Pale Nudes maybe. I'd only wish for a little clearer vocals, maybe brighter, they blend with the lower end and are a bit hard to pick, at least for someone as inexperienced with English as me.

Thumbs up.

Vocals are clear enough here, but a slight brightening wouldn't hurt. (Of course, I'm not having to pick out and translate.)

I'm always excited to see a Barnadine track come up - pathetic fan boy I am.

This is terrific as usual... quirky, raw, dark, humourous, and that voice full of character.

Love the voice percussion/background arrangement as well.

Wow, that was a surprise.

I agree the vocals could be clearer.

Loved it though.

Thanks for listening and for the (possibly overkind) comments.

Yep, brightening the vocals sounds like a good idea. Slightly soupy, kitchen-sink kind of mix which probably needs a visit from the EQ fairy. In the meantime, I've posted the lyrics up here for the morbidly curious.

Thanks, Wyatt. This month's kvr theme didn't really grab me so I had to wander off elsewhere for entertainment.

And cheers for the band tips, ZQ. Just been having a listen to Dead Brothers - some fun stuff in there.

Absolutely brilliant as always! Love your work mate. Thanks for the tune.

How'd you do the rhythmic vocalisations (starts at 0:07)? Are they words?

Yes, another excellent one, Barnadine. Thanks for sharing

In the interest of balance I shall say 'MEH'

I'm pretty sure i'll be humming this for days though.

Cheers

Cheers all.

TankEyes, that'd just be me chanting into a microphone. Twice. Is 'Hnh-chugga' a word? I first tried chanting 'She knows-ah!' Mark E. Smith style, but it didn't quite have the rhythm I was after. (Did you ever finish that big bass song, by the way? I don't watch the cafe like I should.)

A friendly bump, for this one goes to my "best of kvr" folder on a D:/ drive.
