Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Driving beat reinforced by the guitars and the vocal performance.
Pretty cool recording though you do need to address some of your essing.
Cool.

Thanks Ray. Sibilance is the bane of my life.
After trying de-essers with no joy I now try to eliminate one at a time manually.
I'll have another look in that area, otherwise I will have to wait until it comes into fashion. :-)

Its in fashion as far as I'm concerned. I spent much more time listening to the great MUSIC than listening for any Sibilance - or is that just me?
Great guitar sounds!
Really enjoyed it!

Great vibe and a both cool and thoughtful lyric ... and carried with
a fine vocal. A lot to like happening here.

The great drums sound well complemented the good band.

Enjoyed it!

It's not just you. I do the same.

This is a good song Vic. Super drum groove that drove a great vocal. The backing tracks were super also, as was the mix.
