Song sounds great, really solid and tight. I dig it!
Cool idea for a video too, it really works for the song.

Re: Icecaps (Melt My Shaky Values)
This is really chill, sounds really well balanced (both the mix and composition). I'm liking the blended octave up effect for the solo too; adds a bit of texture. Good stuff!

Got a strong Rolling Stones "Miss You" vibe on that, with less disco on the bass.

As always, really great, both song, performance and mix!
I concur on the Rolling Stones vibes, not always a good thing but in this case it is!

Re: Icecaps (Melt My Shaky Values)
Hi,
Thanks so far! Sorry I have been wearing my Distro hat lately and I don't like to half-listen to stuff on a deadline, hope to get back down here to the music lounge a bit more soon..
I'm looking forward to sharing the whole album.. its a weird mix of Indie bluesy jazz with a bit of avant garde thrown in..

Re: Icecaps (Melt My Shaky Values)
Really really good, both as a whole and its addends! What's the vocal fx chain like?

Re: Icecaps (Melt My Shaky Values)
Hey hey @GMaq , I would have expected nothing less from you. A well balanced and well played song.
Only, I have a thing about drums, and one detail doesn't sit well with me: the kick. The long resonance and reverb tail sounds off. It even cuts through the mix, giving the kick a feel as if it was in a different space to the rest of the music. It has a good hefty weight and - I think - the EQing works quite well with the piece, but that tail...
This is criticism on a high level. Well what else would do for your work? I should show this to my father, I think he'd love it. it would fit seamlessly into his music collection.
