I had an old drum file in my documents of a cover I would (eventually) do of Gouge Away. Well today is the day. I had just finished recording Take Me Away, and my voice felt like it was gonna go out, so I decided to send it packing for the day. I threw together the backing track (drums, Bass, Clean Guitar) and plugged my guitar into the right channel, and my mic into left. I was gonna get one pass on this one, and I knew it, so let it rip…
Im gonna go find some tea now. Thanks for listening.
Oooh Pixies!!!
I sure do love those rokkin big fat bass tones.
That guitar sounds like it’s gonna burst into lightning.
Lovely smooth vocals that get progressively harder.
Yeah, so good.
Wow, an extended version. You capture the essence of all the original ingredients (driving bass with unorthodox chord structure, voice, and the shrieking lead guitar) but make it your own: cool!
Scary how closely you’ve captured that Pixies vibe. The drum and fuzz bass tracks are superb - love the moments where you open up the cymbals and then snap them back in. The vocals are amazing too, you’re doing the soft stuff and the screamy stuff equally brilliantly. Bravo!
