hello
Here is the very first produced and mastered maudlin
track. Hope you guys have a listen to this, a lot of time
and effort has been put into it and i would love to hear
comments regarding the song, in particularly comments re
song writing and production would be most helpful. But
anyway, here is the first maudlin track, finished and blah
blah

I won't be any help, but I think this is terribly awesome.

incredible stuff, i thought there was alot of tension
between the instruments which made it very interesting, but
i dont really know much about this kinda music, i just know
lamb sux and you guys rox. i could hardly hear the piano
during the song, but that would have been too much upon all
the other instruments, though they're all subtle.
i guess if this was planned as a single you might better go
for a more rocky track, for commercial reasons. but i dont
know anything and you have thought this all up already

cheers mate
this is actually a really odd track for us to have finished
first, its the one that has come together the quickest.
mainly because our drummer jack doesnt play on this one, and
it was basically written in the space of a couple hours
between me, stephanie and briony. a lot of our other tracks
some of which were written long before this one are still
being fine tuned in the songwriting process... we have one
song "optimistic" (nothing to do with rhead) which is really
upbeat and even somewhat poppy, which is the obvious
"single" choice... but anyway... yeah... bit worried we come
across like lamb etc etc, im really glad you liked it.
thankyou :)

i see what you mean, but i would expect it to have a fair
bit of appeal here it is heavily electronica influenced...
at least i think it sounds that way :)

it sure does, but it's such a good blend that it didnt stick
out for, also i knew to expect that. was that noah wilson
involved in your project before btw? and the cellist and
drummer? wasnt it just you and the vocalist before?

i really dig it except the vocals, some times it seems like
she's concentrating on some notes that dont really go with
the rest of the song

also i get too much of a björk vibe sometimes from the way
she uses her voice

over all though really good

me and the vocalist stephanie write the songs, jack and
briony are session musicians who are now part of the live
lineup and noah wilson (whom i worked with on the hyper
hotel komatsu project) has become pretty much the
producer... dealing with the tech side. we like to consider
ourselves a band tho.

your not the first person to criticise the vocalist...
despite the fact that im completely smitten with her voice,
i do understand why people would have a problem. some
reasons would be her age, shes only 18, she has a lot of
maturing to do vocally, and she is still finding her style.
depite that, i think shes incredible anyway...

well it's not her voice thats a problem at all, she has a
great voice, its just that i think she's not using it the
right way... does that make sense?

not really... shes a proper jazz trained vocalist, and for
me to pass judgement on how she should use her voice, isnt
really my place to do so...

i didnt mean that to sound bitchy sorry, that wasnt my
intention... it does make sense i guess, but shes trained, i
am not, so she would know a lot more than me, and would
probably not appreciate me telling her how to sing :)

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I love the vocals and the
instruments together. It's a brilliant production, very nice
indeed.

yeah i guess

i dunno her voice just doesn't go with the rest of the song
in a few parts of it, like she's a note too high or
something

the singer sounds like a combination of björk and macy gray
IMO.

nice little track.
