I mean I’m whatever on two of the four released. And the one this Friday would need to be drastically different for me to enjoy it based on those videos. I only really like FSOM, so we shall see.
would be pretty dope edit: also just wanna say “road kill” is a very intriguing title for them, for some reason. a lot of these are really. “shiny collarbone” as well just gets me like
I've barely listened to any of the songs off of this but just listened to frail state of mind again and it might be their best song.
These tutorials are cool... I've really been wanting to get more into music production lately, but the learning curve of the software and how to execute different effects and whatnot just feels so intimidating. Like I wouldn't know where to begin... I've only really ever recorded, edited, and programmed beats into a DAW and programmed bass lines. Pretty basic stuff. But it's like if someone could point me in the right direction and not make the production aspect look or feel like a chore, I feel like I'd be super into it... there are so many interesting producers out there these days, The 1975 included, where I'm just so intrigued by their sound design.
As a current Music Tech major in college, one of the biggest things for me was just hearing certain sounds in recordings I like and wondering how those sounds were produced. Not to say I'm some great producer, but it's definitely helped me learn more. A big thing I've noticed with The 1975, especially their more "typical" songs (UGH! is a great example) is a lot of the main guitar leads or synth parts are HEAVILY layered. Meaning, if you play a guitar lead, copy it on some type of synthesizer. Maybe use a different synth patch to harmonize it.
Yeah I would say music production is a lot of trial and error in general! But that’s part of the fun (if you have time to spend). It’s kind of like cooking haha especially when it comes to objective vs subjective tastes. I’ve been doing it in some capacity for over 10 years though i work more with live sounds and microphones than I do with virtual instruments and synthesis. There’s a ton of great stuff out there now however to get you started and if you have a Mac I know they’ve been offering an extended 90 day trial of Logic Pro x
I echo the last two comments. I got into production by wondering how to make certain sounds/effects and it all just built from there.
Ngl I forgot how much I didn’t like this song when it first popped up online and my stance hasn’t changed...Phoebe being on it is wicked and I am mad happy about that but I just can’t vibe with any song opening with the lyrics ‘I’m in love with Jesus Christ, I’m in love I’ll say it twice’. Reading the lyrics like...I get it. I do. And the planes in the sea verse is beautiful. But any time I hear the opening lyrics I just wince. That’s a me thing regarding religion and my experiences. Can’t be helped. First song of them all that I’m properly disappointed with. Just need Too Shy and the full album now.
I actually think George did as much as he could to save it. I enjoy it wayyyyy more than I thought I would. I’ll just consider it a lil interlude that’s 4 min long lol
As much as I stan 1975 I stan Phoebe harder so I definitely look past some of the flaws of this. Really enjoy the mood of this song though. Perfect level of sad.
