Song 6: Neptune

Another strange song, this piece is most minimalistic, yet complex. Featuring only two guitars with no effects, a bass, drums and vocals, this song has the least amount of parts (by far) compared to every other song we have. Unlike songs such as The Arrival and Porcelain, I wanted to create a stripped down sound, and keep it mellow. The arrangement of instruments are simple, but the guitar parts are quite the opposite. Two lead lines arpeggiate, occasionally harmonise, and weave in and out of each other. The vocals feel airy, wispy and sometimes sparse, and the unusual drum beat drones without fail in the background. The bass keeps up with the speed of the guitars, creating a groove yet not feeling too present in the mix. An odd song, but a song that I am very glad that we added to our album, and different to many other tracks in our catalogue.
