Fern O'Finigins Fabulous Flying Fungi

Finished this over the weekend. Kind of a surreal psychedelic type of jam. I'm calling it "Fern O'Finigins Fabulous Flying Fungi"

Really enjoyed that. Thanks.

Two thumbs up for the title alone. I'd love to see Elaine from Seinfeld dance to it .. ms

Couple of the guitar stabs in the first 10-15 second mark don't seem to quite line up with the drums. Cool jam, I like the drones and intriguing lead effects

Points for the Title - not sure about the song - mixed really well - no words yet?

Yes, I was on the fence about those guitars in the intro, pretty much 1st time tracking them and I kind of liked the spontaneous vibe, but after sitting with it for a few days felt kind of sloppy. Decided to cut them for the 1st few measures and just leave the bass guitar in intro... link plays the new version.

:>) thanks! Not sure it's going to get lyrics or vocals...Ive been in an instrumental mood recently. Fun challenge to try and come up with something that can hold interest for a bit without singing, not sure I succeed very often but have a lot of fun trying ;>)

+1 for some kind of vocalization. Can a group sing be called BVs if there's no main vocal?

You could add some low frequency content to this, bud, and it wouldn't critically maim it.

I added a $200 subwoofer for referencing and it's been my my most used and useful purchase in a decade.

Cool, I liked it! Primus fan? I think if you don’t want to add vocals maybe sprinkle in a bit more dialogue throughout the song like the stuff you had at the beginning. A little bit of minimalist narration. Would be cool and help the listener along the journey.

I love your snare and tom sounds. Are those samples or real drums. If they’re real drums, I’d love to know how they were processed and recorded.

Referring to an earlier comment; I don’t think it’s way too light in the low end. Could bump it up a smidge on the bass and kick.

I also liked the lead guitar style choices. Kept it loose. Fun tune. Thanks for sharing. I love hearing original stuff!

Cool! love the random psychotic energy of it. Nothing makes sense. But don’t we need a break from things having to make sense? At least every once in a while.

Huge Primus and all things Claypool fan :>). Those are drum loops that I chop up and splice to kind of fit. Im struggling a bit on the low end in my mixes with some new hardware I'm breaking in...Thanks for listening!!
