Number 7 to Rawtenstall
Liner Notes
This is a beat made on the #korg #volca #sample with a bunch of found sounds (hitting my desk lamp, desk… that kind of thing). I then played it to @oatst until he made some words, which he sang. The loop felt kind of downbeat, so it got a kind of downbeat chord sequence.
Recorded round my kitchen table with the new (to me) MXL 770X I snagged on eBay for £30, which is a bargain, I reckon.
Lyrics
This clag has soaked me to the bone
Cuts me to my quick
Heading far away from home
Grit stone into brick
Bows against the window
No signal to know
Numbness as it still grows
Moss on my back
On the road to Milnrow
Heavy is the load
Where does this bus go
Carrots in the road

Nice changes in there and great use of found percussion. Another winner, guys!

I love all these found sounds! The beat sounds restless and agitated, and makes me picture someone pacing, nervous, impatient, and angry. Really evocative! Favorite two lines: "Numbness as it still grows/ Moss on my back"
