Hey guys,

if you make it to my page (unsignedbandweb.com/adam nesbit), I would really appreciate comments on either of the tracks I currently have posted.

I guess insecurity demands that I qualify the tracks with: I have been recording on an old Kiddy 'Corder mic with a program that I downloaded for free, hence the mediocre quality. In the future, once I A) invest in a better program and mic or B) get my old software running again, you can expect some higher quality music. For now though I would love some constructrive criticism!

-Thanks!

Listening to the Wash - like the intro. interesting segue into the phaser/wah. Not expected in an acoustic tune. Nice groove change at 2:00

I think the recording is really refreshing. Sure its a bit lofi, but in this case i think it adds a lot rather than detracting from the music. I especially like the sound of traffic at the begining of "wash me ". It gives the track a real sense of time and place. A great honest performance as well. I get a real sense of who you are. Song construction is interesting as well. I can hear a cut in halfway (which again for some reason does for me). I like the fairground organ sound at the end as well. Really great stuff. You should keep it.

All the best.

Hollow sound on recording of guitar. Lyrics though are very cool

Left a comment for Parking Lot on your site, but I'll leave one here for the acoustic song.

I love the style and lyrics to it, your voice fits perfectly with it too. Sounds kinda like Bright Eyes in a way, but different.

I like how you change it up mid-way through, sounds excellent and keeps it interesting.

The only thing I wish was different is the quality, of course. The guitar quality is decent, if a bit hollow, but I wish the voice was a lot louder and better quality. :\

If you could get some better equipment or something, I'm sure it would sound much better.

Overall, excellent stuff. Let's hope you can get some better equipment soon. =D

I'm very excited to hear the feedback! As far as recording quality goes, I definitely agree that lo-fi brings a sense of honesty to a given recording, I think that I personally just dislike the sort of underlying digitized feel that computer recording gives. I'd love to eventually invest in some older analog recording equipment.
