The effect starting at 1:58 is a brilliant, appropriate effect, leading into a bridge that compliments the rest of the song.

I looked at the song image on Soundcloud - sure looks to me like Nick Lowe is taking Kate Pierson (B52s) for a spin.

If I ever need energy to do the vacuuming, ear buds are in and thisโ€™ll be cranked up to 11!

70? Gee, youโ€™ve kept some youthful tone to your voice! Iโ€™ve tried prune juice but it has a different effect.

Well done!

Andrew, I'm genuinely so grateful for this incredibly thoughtful and fun review. Thank you for such a detailed listen and for pointing out all those elements โ€“ it means a lot to know the music is resonating. The Nick Lowe/Kate Pierson image is a fantastic mental picture! And if this song can inspire even a little bit of vacuuming vigor, then it's truly done its job. ๐Ÿ˜Š

" is that EQ with lots of bottom taken off? "

Yes indeed along with compression and a few busted blood vessels! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

The effect starting at 1:58 is Looperator

"Iโ€™ve tried prune juice but it has a different effect."

After lots of scientific research for the best vocal chord elixer I reccomend copious amounts of this

cheers

Izzy
