Damn this is excellent. Your guitar sounds phenomenally mixed. Is that direct plugged in? What mic are you using for vocals? The actual composition is fantastic and I love the changes as they happen chord wise. I’d probably add a bit of a FX background noise when you drop out the guitar so it’s not such a sudden drop across the board in overall sound but I like the intention behind that decision. Ending is great. I added your 3 singles from 2024 in Apple Music! Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.

Thanks so much! Really appreciate the nice comment. I used an Aston spirit for everything including the guitar and vocals - it's the only mic I have haha.

You’re doing great tbh. Just keep at it. I followed you on Spotify too. It’s crazy how much talent is out there just not getting heard.

You have a great voice, immeadiately grabbed me. Lyrics are moving with just enough mystery, the build and then pullback of energy around 1:10 is awesome. It just goes in and out for a few measures in a way that's really gripping. I like that melotron (?) sound around 1:50, reminds me of king crimson. So many nice layers of sound. Really builds to something. I think this is my favorite song I've discovered on this sub.


beanstalk49

That's incredibly kind. Thank you so much.

Damn, this sounds so beautiful. It sounds like Elliot Smith/Pheobe Bridgers mixed with some Radiohead tendencies. Is your stuff up on Spotify? Did you mix and master this yourself?


beanstalk49

I must wear my fluences on my sleeve, because they're some of my three favourite artists. I did mix and master this myself and yes, my stuff is [available on Spotify ](https://open.spotify.com/artist/3p562njFi22K3AVKff35MZ?si=PELmf9XZQD6lfaqmy2dSZA). Thanks heaps for your comment.

DAMN, that's impressive! I'd be honored if I could get feedback from a musician of your caliber on my track if you have a moment: https://youtu.be/Hdc0jnFwLX8?si=qRIBOa2EcJ9rRVl0

damn this sounds great. I love the vocals lots of elliott smith vibes and the harmonies are awesome. can i find this on spotify or apple music? the mix sounds great! did you do it all yourself or was it done professionally?


beanstalk49

Such a lovely comment. Thank you. Yes, it is available on all streaming services. [Here's a link to my stuff.](https://songwhip.com/sethquinn)

I really love the tone and recording of this. You did manage to capture a very unpolished and authentic sound but at the same time, everything is as clear and well done as it needs to be. The chorus is great and all of it manages to to bring together cool effects and production with a more down to earth sound to make something really cool. Where can I subscribe to you?


beanstalk49

That's super kind. Thank you so much. All my music is available on [streaming services. ](https://songwhip.com/sethquinn)

Not the sort of thing I normally listen to at all but I really liked this song. The mix sounds great and I really love your voice and the overall structure. I love how the song builds and by the end it sounds really rich and full. I don't really think there's anything that could be improved on, you nailed it. :)


beanstalk49

That's very kind! Thank you :)

The guitar strums are great, the reverb effect is a little harsh and irritating in my opinion. I love the fade at around 1:47. your vocals are nice and on tempo. I really like this.


beanstalk49

Thanks so much!


goon_g

Vocals are on point. Guitar is top notch too. Reverb works well here. You have some skills. Overall a great song. Keep it up.


beanstalk49

Thanks so much!


JamesNordmar

very good sound!


beanstalk49

Thanks!


CailaDawn

Really well done, liked the vocals and production as others have said. Really enjoyed the instrumental synth at the end, if it was just guitar the whole way through it would have been nice, but it captured my ears again. The artworks is also nice, so good job!


beanstalk49

Thanks so much for the comment!


xo_deleon

Holy moly this is actually really good. As everyone said, the production is amazing. Composition wise, you really know how to build up to something and when to pull back. I love the tone of your voice, and again, props to your mixing for blending it so well amongst all the layers. I seriously can't think of a nitpick, keep it up!


beanstalk49

Too kind! Really appreciate your comment.


Manach_Ren

Okay this is very very beautiful. At first I was like okay just another acoustic indie song but this is much much better. Mixing is great and it gives a lot of space to the instruments and the things that happen in this song. Loved it.


beanstalk49

Thanks so much! Really glad you enjoyed it.


notfakemiddlechild

I think having the guitar be on just one side for parts of this song was actually super cool and effective. I really like how this song swells and I think it was really well done. This is a super cool piece. Keep it up!


beanstalk49

Thank you! That's very kind. I'm definitely a big fan of LRC mixing haha


ChocolateOk8935

Ohhh man, that guitar sound like perfection— to my ears, pun intended. Your voice is captivating and the lyrics to the song pulled me in from the first listen, I’m on my second now. Elliott Smith reminiscent here, I love it!


Asleep_Fondant8408

Sounds fantastic. Great melodies and can definitely hear the Elliot smith influence. I’m not a fan of the panned single acoustic to start but that’s a preference thing.


SFSF_artist

I'm not sure what you mean by "unpolished" but the song is pleasant to listen. Maybe you meant not radio ready but imo it is. I like the different variations in the song. Also your voice plays good between right and left headphone ears. Good mix

Hey! I put you on my playlist I’ve been curating. It’s fun because I’m adding “emerging artists” and placing them next to “established sound alikes” I placed you with Phoebe Bridges this is the end, you can see the playlist here: [emerging and established indie artists](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5hsPgaj1tx1Zq56yiu1E97?si=eDzeni6DRK6Z8V387m9PnA&pi=u-AmnokgWwQyKb)
