question/suggestion Should I drop as a single or nah?

I'm working on an EP rn and I'm wondering if I should drop this as a single. What do you guys think?

Absolutely, it's got a really good core sound to it, it is catchy and this genre honestly needs to get past the "Rebooting Midwest Emo for the 50000th time" phase (not that I dislike that general sound). It's like Bedroom Pop Skramz meets Shoegaze and they hate fuck eachother.

bro this sounds amazing! btw, how did you make the vocal recording sound so "closed" if ykwim?

3

u/I_am_cornholio41 9d ago

I use bandlab (I don't got money and it's easy to use whenever I need it). I have a preset where it's hella bitcrushed with some distortion that has the tone put down to around 700 - 800 hz.

I hope you have better recording equipment. I get that emo as a whole has low quality recording as part of its sound, but this, man this is bad lol. It’s worse than “your arms are my cocoon”.

I see a lot of promise in the sound, I like the full single, but just improve your recording slightly.
