FAWM: "nothing forever"

nothing forever

Liner Notes

this one took the longest yet and it is still such an unholy mess! but that might be part of the charm? I started with a drum beat, which is something I never do, but it gave me an idea for the track. The idea was basically "do a three chord rock song but keep punctuating it with stops and starts and strangeness". It's sort of a success because I like it, but I didn't really achieve the full vision. i guess we rarely do.

also it occurred to me when i was about to post it that the title is actually quite cliche. but there probably isn't another song with this name that sounds like this

Lyrics

are you alone? pick up the phone!

break that key and turn your back and

he's a real big man with a killer salary twenty one thousand calories pin the soul on the donkey what a feeling what a feeling!

desperado-core oblivion what apocalyptic fun! hell of a crowd when the world ends when the world ends

i'll do nothing forever i'll do nothing forever nothing is forever nothing is forever

nothing is forever nothing is forever

this is really cool in the phones, some cool sounds, like the vocal effects and the music bed is real solid. Good track!

This is sonically incredible. I have so many questions about how you got that vocal sound, and what all instruments were used. I adore all the fuzz. Has a very shoegazey vibe, but more aggressive. Incredibly catchy!

hi, thanks for listening and commenting! the vocals are triple tracked, one of them is pitched up and they all have some pretty hefty bitcrush/tape effect going on. my instruments are cheap stuff, I think it's the digital amps and vst effects doing all the heavy lifting rather than the instruments being any good

@cathreu 3h

Ah, bitcrush! That makes sense. I'll have to do some experimenting, you've inspired me.

I’m doing some FAWM listening with my husband today. I asked him for a comment and he said “serving up tasty platters of noise-inflected pop” and “MBV mixed with Belly.” I love all the noise and fuzz and poppiness as always, and “desperado-core” is a great phrase.

This first listen woke me up! Takes me back to circa 2005 indie noise pop. The sounds on this are wild, but there's still a catchy tune underneath, and an exuberant abandon to the playing. I like "Pin the soul on the donkey" as a lyric, (but perhaps also maybe a title option? Or just "pin the soul"?)
