The Oxbow Lake Band - At the Festival

[neepheid]

Hey folks

We've been in the studio and recorded a song to celebrate our upcoming appearance at Belladrum Festival. This is also my first proper recording with the band. I'm happy to hear any comments anyone might have (whether it's about the song, the mix or the bass playing ).

Love it!

Sounds real "loose" but "together" if you know what I mean.

I like it, it's quirky (can't really hear the bass as it's not very high in the mix). I like the singing though and, other than the splash being a bit too loud, the drums have been recorded well.

Cheers guys, yeah the bass is a bit buried, I guess it's always a bit of a scrap when there are keys involved, I've emailed the guy to see if the bass can be promoted a little. It's weird though, I hear it better, maybe because I know what should be there and my brain fills in the gaps or is listening out for it.

The guy has boosted the bass by a couple of dB, new version now up.
