I'm in a new folk/alt/ska/punk/folk duet called THE AMERICAN WHALING INDUSTRY and am currently writing a whole album dedicated to the pains of sea life and fantasy themes and shit like that. We also make awesome music videos.
Listen to our first 2 singles below (because hey, you can take 6 minuets of out the time you would usually spend insulting JurrianChu or whatever that losers name is)Unicorns Became NarwhalsThe American Whaling IndustryHere's them unplugged and completely unedited:Unicorns Became NarwhalsThe American Whaling IndustryWhat's new with me?I got one of these a few days ago
Gonna get started with app development in the coming days.I'm also going to see Streetlight Manifesto at warped tour on Thursday and I'm seeing Reel Big Fish on the 12th because ska is awesome.I'm working some shitty maintenance job from like 6-4 all day every day this summer, so my life sucks cause I only make minimum wage. So take me out back and shoot me.That's my whole life!
Comment.
Mixing of the vocals was slightly annoying to my ears on first listen, but ducks are nice.
I don't usually take much JuurianChi-insulting time, so I took the six minutes out of the sleep bank instead. Which is already in debt, but it hasn't failed yet so it's all goodAlthough the rest is really well-done, the autotune vocals just killed it for me; it sounded way too mismatched with the rest and just didn't fit in, which is a shame because I liked the actual lyrics quite a bit.
Seriously, for me at least, if you did it with natural voices, I would absolutely dig it. But as of right now, all I can say is ewwww.Out of the two, though, I preferred Unicorns Became Narwhals.Natural voices? You mistake us for people who can sing!
Besides autotune is the new hipsterYeah, the autotune is distracting. Especially since it's only in tune with itself.
Bet if you just growled it out, things would sound way better. The music you're doing lends itself to bad singing anyways. That second song sounds like it would kick ass if you stopped hiding your (his?) voice.Well if you guys really think it would sound better without autotune you can compare that right now.
Unicorns Became NarwhalsThe American Whaling IndustryWaaay better.
I really do dig TAWI. Are you singing?It sounds a bit goofy, but at least now it's endearing. It's got soul behind it. In fact, the fact that it's not the usual really calming voice, makes it stand out. It's beneficially weird, but it's not that annoying kind of weird everyone gets when they consciously try to be weird.
NEEDS MORE SKA
also the vocals are terrible
