Being a fan of Alex Cox's 1984 cult masterpiece Repoman, I got the tingles listening to this.

Some of the guitar string screech is a little over done and some of the high frequencies (Hi-hat or tambourine) need taming but generally the drums are excellent and the whole thing comes alive at about 3.00 when the "Spooky Tooth/Electronic Mass" wail makes it's unholy presence felt.

Blamo! Eye's melt, skin explodes, everybody dead!

Hey PSoames, thanks for the ears/advice mate - I'll be making those adjustments later today.

"Spooky Tooth/Electronic Mass" :puf_bigsmile:

Ever been to Utah? Ra-di-a-tion. Yes, indeed. You hear the most outrageous lies about it. Half-baked goggle-box do-gooders telling everybody it's bad for you. Pernicious nonsense. Everybody could stand a hundred chest X-rays a year. They ought to have them, too

Cheers

The song progresses really nicely and is very cohesive. Really liking the creepy vibe of the song, as well.

The guitars are a little too bright for my taste, but they do fit the song nicely. I agree with PSoames, the string noise is too present and the hats are on the ice pick side. If you could tame those a bit, it'd make the song even more enjoyable.
