"Queen Of Spades." Performed by JWC.

I was listening to a few guitar clips on YouTube and saw some interesting chord voicings I wanted to get into a tune and then the same evening I was listening to old tunes never finished and found the drums and the bass line in a project from 2020. So I transposed the original tune to fit the new guitar ideas and rerecorded the bass to fit the new chords changes and took it from there. 
There are just two synth tracks here so many of the "odd" sounds you hear starting at 3:26 are actually heavily treated guitars.
