The Clash At Demonhead - Black Sheep

✩ wrong way sublime sped up ✩

I have difficulty with this track on two counts: one is that I generally have an aversion to anything registering more than 1.5 Schmaltz on the sentimental-meter, and with its descending bassline and baroque prettiness - not to mention rather lorn lyrics about saying a fond goodbye to someone at an airport - this registers rather highly, I fear. Secondly, this isn't well enough-constructed song to lead the listener through itself, on an unbroken narrative, where the verse will seamlessly convey you into the chorus*, without the tendency to state a phrase, then move on to the next phrase and repeat that, then maybe another one, and by merely joining them together you've got a 'song' - well that's a bit lazy isn't it? Oh, and I've discovered a lot of background hum on the acoustic guitar track, which is the main instrument. Still, I'm pleased about the song's quick gestation - written a week ago, and recorded two days ago, with no messing about.
*Jimmy Cliff's The Harder They Come or James Taylor's You've Got a Friend are good examples of that - you don't notice the song's building blocks until you're through the first chorus.

Harness Your Hopes (1.1x Speed)

Ridiculously under-publicised due to lack of effort on his part, and criminally under-listened to due to lack of effort on everybody else's part, Boy:48 is an Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 graphic designer and married father of two who likes to write, make, record, produce and publish music when he can. His SoundCloud page has over 250 tracks on it, dating from ancient lo-fi tape demos from 1988, to regular releases as they are finished, at the rate of one or two a month. Thirteenth collection of demo's, 'Scatterling', released in December 2015, followed by double-collection Matryoshka (late 2017) and Krokodyl (early 2018). There followed a period of fulsome activity resulting in the OZALID and Dream, Daedalus albums, and while beginning his Sleepshow collection, lockdown struck and he walloped 26 tracks in just 6 months - one a week, resulting in much slapdash work. 2021 saw a return to normal with the completion of Sleepshow in March, and Ink Traps in December. 2022 saw his collection FASH completed, and its follow-up, DWAM, was completed in the second half of 2023. March-April 2024 have thus far seen the addition of six new tracks. Be advised that all the stuff is demo's - that means they are there to showcase, or give an impression of, what a piece could sound like. But they've not been done by professionals, nor in ideal recording conditions, so all sorts of qualities, details, dynamics etc. will not be the best possible. So think of them as worked-up sketches, rather than studio-made productions. All of them are AMDG - Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam: To the Greater Glory of God.
