Here is a new song from Spirit Level who are Robert Cordrey, Scott(ScottC) and Ray(rayc).

This song started as a rock shuffle that I was playing around with and sent the seq to Robert to see if he thought lyric and vocal would work with the backtrack. Robert made the necessary adjustments in the arrangement to work with his vocal and lyric. The seq was then set to Ray to add his bass track. Ray and I worked on the crunchy guitar rhythm tracks. I added fill to play underneath Roberts vocal and brought forward for the guitar break.

Swoon

Roberts Lyrics

Swoon

one line written like an epitaph
on walls of the underground
her laugh echoing in third class
fall into desolation sound
follow her down down
down into her labyrinth
follow the line she unwinds
from her blue dress

in that room everybody swoons
could be your tomb everybody swoons

her waist an upside down valentine
blonde circuits blowing the car
she sways you`re the nearest handy man
subway turns to a ramshackle rickshaw
follow her down down
down into her labyrinth
follow the line she unwinds
from her blue dress

in that room everybody swoons
down in her catacombs everybody swoons

welcome to her human museum
maybe you`re the first fireproof man
carpe-diem is that whst you`re thinking
dancing with an oriental fan
follow her down down
down into her labyrinth
follow the line she unwinds
from her blue dress

in that room everybody swoons
surrender to your doom everybody swoons

We auditioned approx 8 different drums tracks and settled on the one in the song.

I did the mix on the song using Studio One 5 with a ton of help from Robert and Ray.
