Any feedback is better than nothing? I'll take hits if that's cool-for it being wack, lol.

Chill. The sidechained vocal sample near the beginning is really strange in an endearing way. Really nice piano melody around 0:48; phases around very nicely. Excellent cover art by Sun Glitters as per usual!

Looks like a solid package you are offering up here! *bookmarks*

I think it needs a donk on it.

Critiquing isn't my bag/forte but here's my pinch of salt feedback after a couple of listens...dig the dreamy vibe, would like to hear a bit more of the vocal sample at the beginning referenced later, snare's a bit loud and kinda samey, bassline a bit quiet, track's lush sounding, song held my interest throughout, Bonobo-esque. Nice work. Gonna check out your other stuff now :)

Nice change @ :50. Made me sit up a bit. Very chill lounge vibe, I wish it challenged me a little more.

I like how it starts kind of "bright" and turns a bit deeper, but it doesn't ever excite me.

I too wish that vocal from the beginning played more of a part and developed more over the track.

It seems like you were going for a very particular vibe though and I think you nailed it. It reminds me of eluvium with more percussion.

Thanks a lot for the feedback.

Adding more vocal would have definitely brightened up some spots on the track, I would agree. Will keep that in mind next the next project.

The cover art is indeed nice, it was interesting- Sun Glitters first gave me some rough drafts and ideas. I didn't quite love them, I was looking more for something like he uses for his own work. That's when he told me he has to be careful, cannot be using what makes Sun Glitters special on other artists (the very dreamy glittery artwork), and I agree. When he flashed this artwork to me I think shed a tear, haha. Absolutely love it.

Could use a top line but the style and production are nice enough - makes me wanna be a teenager driving round the countryside wiv m'm80s smoking jazzfags.

Even after googling still unsure what mm80s are. Jazzfag obviously some uk term for cigarettes, well I know that's what fags are, is that marijuana when you jazz up a fag?

Clueless American I'm sorry ha. Thanks for the listen and feedback.
