Post-Dated

Liner Notes
demo is up! #indie #indiepop #indierock I wrote it with The Nerves in mind - did not use fancy microphones into my interface cause i forgot the adapter, whoops. so it's my laptop microphone. very lo-fi.
(Forgive the wonky vocals & warbly notes - I am recovering from Influenza A & my lungs got it the worst.)
vocals: me guitar: me bass: me drums: me hand claps: me
Hah!
Lyrics
i wrote you a love letter stuffed into a blue box made of stainless steel
nothing could be better than scribbling down thoughts about how I feel
Post-Dated! Now we wait...yeah!
do you remember when with 25 cents in hand on a college-ruled sheet it would be so sweet
it would be all the rage to pour our hearts out on the page
lick the envelope and press it down tight will you dream of me tonight? Tonight? Tonight? (Good night!)
Post-Dated (with each day my love grows stronger) Post-Dated (I cannot wait any longer) Post-Dated....

Sorry you're not feeling well, but I love this! And I don't mind the lo-fi vocal, I actually quite like the vibe it gives.

Oh this is awesome. Love the guitar tones, and the vocals remind me of early 00s girl-group inspired indie rock acts like Perro Del Mar. The melody for "Post-Dated" works really well and is super sticky. Nice job!

I like the multiple tracks of vocals, giving a cool girl group sound. The guitar does have some surfy reverb! Great job playing all this while recovering. This reminds me of my late teens and early twenties, before we were all on the internet.

I love the guitar fills throughout, it adds a really nice counterpoint to the lyric. I'm so interested in the idea of a post-dated love letter, sounds risky! 😂 Good stuff!

Creative lyrics! Cool lo-fi delivery in production! I love that you're playing it all. The guitar is dreamy. The reverb on your vocals are just perfect. Lovely!!

I love the punk meets girl group meets surf feel with these great lyrics. The guitar accents really add a lot. A great start to my day - thanks for that!
aww thank you! i kinda like the girl group/punk/surf theme and might do a few more in the same feeling :)

Oooooh, I love the Velvet Underground aesthetic - low fi goodness through and through. This is hitting me with exactly what I love. The song just has my head bobbing and I'm swaying along. Super cool vintage reverby/chimey guitar and those harmonies are perfect. Everything fits together and I love it. What a great start! Screw you Influenza A!!!!
awww yay! i am glad to be back & grateful to be in your orbit :) Can't wait to hear your cassette challenges!

I love the detail of this. I miss those old-fashioned methods of communication! Looking forward to the demo.
Yay! demo is up. not too shabby for someone getting over influenza A! :)

The lofi production works fabulously for this! I love the dual meaning of post-dated, it gets you thinking. Hope you’re feeling better, amazing you can crank this out while getting over the flu!
