i like the eq of the drums and the harmonies. i would consider adding some viola or strings. not bad. sounds like it could be on some show credits somewhere

Deadly! http://www.feckingdeadly.com/piano-pop-starar-holding-one/

the beat on the track was made with some very calming vibes, and the vocals were very nice

I'm feeling the atmosphere of this track, good job

Amazing production, i like the drum set up. Way to go!

yes this song draws my soul well done i know u had it in u love to hear more from u

Nice track man! really liked the drums and the tempo! real nice transition to when the guitars came in!  Vocals were amazing but id say get  a better mix i think the song could be a little more full and clear. 

This song is super dope, that mix is so smooth. I love the way the song oscillates nicely through the EQ mix. Dope

Some new music from the past week that may have went under the radar.

"BurnHard & Brendan Vintedge have some very impressive tracks on Soundcloud. The duo’s new LP, An Electronic Education, is available for streaming, and shows a smooth and sensual incorporation of R&B with glistening electronica, like a more upbeat venture from The Weeknd with production characteristics borrowed from electro-pop greats like Pet Shop Boys and Erasure. There’s a pulsating, modern club feel with a fervent electronic palate, as well. In BurnHard’s words, the project incorporates “contemporary musical influences with the more modern sounds of Chillstep/Chillout, Trap Music, Electro & Deep House, and Dubstep.” In other words, it’s a smorgasbord of various electronic styles, executed without a hitch here. The Weeknd comparisons are especially comparable vocally on “365″, another highlight from the LP, below. BurnHard’s LP involves the collaboration of Brendan Vintedge; dedicated American Idol fans may remember him from the top 30 in season six. His vocals add a strong punch to the efforts on An Electronic Education, a very worthwhile showing from BurnHard and Vintedge." -ObscureSound.com

A Place To Bury Strangers - “We’ve Come So Far” from ‘Transfixiation’ out February 17th, 2015 on Dead Oceans

A Place To Bury Strangers - "We've Come So Far"

Erik Hall worked patiently and solitarily for four years to craft Driver, his sophomore album as In Tall Buildings. Produced between his home studio in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago and a 60's farmhouse in Leelanau County, Michigan, the album comes twenty years after Hall originally fell in love with home recording at age 13 - the year he got his hands on his first multitrack recorder.

Raised in downtown Chicago, Hall played drums and guitar in high school rock bands, and then went on to study percussion and audio engineering at the University of Michigan.  While in college he joined the avant afro-funk band NOMO and met His Name is Alive's Warn Defever, who produced many of the band's albums. Under Defever's tutelage, Hall honed many of the recording and production techniques he would later apply to his solo recordings. As he explains, "I was the guy in the band badgering him with questions throughout the sessions, trying to learn everything I could and then trying it out myself at home." As a multi-instrumentalist and producer Hall eventually went on to record and tour with several groups, including old friends His Name is Alive and, more recently, dream-pop duo Wild Belle, performing the rhythm section tracks and lending an engineering hand to their Columbia Records debut.

In stark contrast to the dense polyrhythms echoed by NOMO's albums, Driver uses a relatively simple palette to create spacious pop songs, leaving plenty of room for Hall's often Peter Gabriel-esque vocals to shine.  The music, though culled from every guitar, keyboard, and drum he managed to fit into his home studio, is powerful in it's restrained simplicity, and it's a compelling foil to the haunting gravity of his vocal performance. Never rushed, his melodies deliver elliptical lyrics that manage to feel intimate, while retaining a sense of mystery. Ultimately, the album's melancholic vibe is relatable, rather than moping or histrionic, and in the end these songs are incredibly comforting and inviting.

LYRICS:

I should have known better
To see what I could see
My black shroud
Holding down my feelings
A pillar for my enemies

I should have wrote a letter
And grieve what I happen to grieve
My black shroud
I never trust my feelings
I waited for the remedy

When I was three, three maybe four
She left us at that video store
Be my rest, be my fantasy

I’m light as a feather
I’m bright as the Oregon breeze
My black shroud 
Frightened by my feelings
I only want to be a relief

No, I’m not a go-getter
The demon had a spell on me
My black shroud
Captain of my feelings
The only thing I want to believe

When I was three, and free to explore
I saw her face on the back of the door
Be my vest, be my fantasy

I should have known better
Nothing can be changed
The past is still the past
The bridge to nowhere
I should’ve wrote a letter 
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling

Don’t back down, concentrate on seeing
The breakers in the bar, the neighbor’s greeting
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination

Don’t back down, there is nothing left
The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
I’m a fool in the fetter
Rose of Aaron’s beard, where you can reach me

Don’t back down: nothing can be changed
Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination
