kevyrob Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Write lots of songs at home for fun, just thought I'de post some to let anyone hear. Mainly retro ish tunes pop/folk with synth sounds also. Also a cover of Guided by Voices track Exit Flagger here for a bit of a change for me !! https://soundcloud.com/robkevertson13/could-it-be-1 https://soundcloud.com/robkevertson13/reminisce https://soundcloud.com/robkevertson13/settle-down https://soundcloud.com/robkevertson13/into-the-black https://soundcloud.com/robkevertson13/situations https://soundcloud.com/robkevertson13/exit-flagger-cover 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) I like this loads. You can here bit of GBV influence in a few of those songs, especially in those hooks and vocal melodies. I really dig the cover too. Great harmonies, and the production is very nice too.

Eupraxia Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 The first tune embedded reminds me a lot of The Magnetic Fields. I know comparisons are probably not what you're after, but it's a really nice little ditty and very pleasant on the ear. The vocal is certainly reminiscent of Bob Pollard's delivery, whom you've covered elsewhere. Like it. The second embedded track sounds lush, but it is a bit of a plodder I think, and could benefit from a stronger chorus. I was waiting for a chorus to really kick in at some point, and it just never happened. I'm a big Guided by Voices fan, so I gave the cover a listen and appreciated it. It's pretty faithful, so you're bang on if that's what you were trying to achieve. I'd certainly not be disappointed if I saw you on the bill at a concert I was attending.

kevyrob Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Guys thanks very much for your comments and advice I kinda like lots of music, GBV, teenage fanclub, The vaselines, eugene Kelly, velvet underground, lots of alt country, stereolab etc etc etc.. Just love melodious things lol.. Good to see there are lots of musicians and listeners still kicking around the north east and a lot of them on this forum.. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 This is really good, you have a good ear for a melody and the recordings are nice and lo-fi. Is this something that you will be doing live in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevyrob Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Hi there, I play all the stuff on the tracks so would be tough live. Was in a band with a lad from the forum for years but when the band split I just went into hiding wrote little tunes lol.. Looking forward to hearing tracks from the covers project you are doing. Listening is as important as playing I think,love listening to new stuff and the dreamy pop/rock stuff is real good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girl anachronism Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Yeah, I'd reiterate what's been said so far; especially relating to the bands that spring to mind, some really good stuff here. Maybe come and do a cover with us somewhere down the line! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
