FAWM: "Gantry"

Gantry

Liner Notes

I've spent a while wrestling with this and I'm conscious that I'm falling behind so I'm posting it as it is.

It'll take me another day or so to think of lyrics, and it's highly unlikely I'll ever be able to play it and sing it at the same time. I can barely play the thing as it is, which is why the timing of the guitar is so sloppy. I'll need to practice it for another hundred hours to get it right.

For this reason I'm throwing it open to anyone else who's interested in having a crack at singing over arguably my most pretentious music of the month.

Edit: Fascinating fact about this song: it's actually all in 4/4. I felt I should point that out after receiving some comments mentioning the time sig. It's just that the rhythm is a bit unusual.

This is fun, I like the way the intro sounds sonically like some kind of 80s pop-rock thing like Don Henley or something, except it's in a mad time signature and explodes into math-pop. Hope somebody smart adds some singing to it.

This is a jam! It sounds fantastic. I got lost just trying to count it, but the groove didn't care and my head just kept nodding. Great dynamic shifts and rhythmic surprises to hold interest the whole way through. Feels like catching your breath after a carnival ride but then you wanna hop right back on and go again.

Very cool. The dual guitars work great together, and that bass tone is beautiful. Don't see anything prentious about it - it might be ambitious, but the end result sounds brilliant, especially in those explosive choruses. It all works really well.
