This week Danny Biscuits & The Warm Cups of Tea were inspired by the psychedelic tunes of bands like Tame Impala and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wiard as well as the over-indulgent/autotune heavy hip hop of the early 2010's. The end result was this groovy tune with a psychedlic-pop inspired vibe and some sprinklings of ear candy. One thing I experimented with this week was an overly dramatic key change in the final chorus. Originally I shifted everything, including vocals, up a major third from C Minor to E Minor. With the the vocals included the cheese was unbearable and it was an almost obnoxious change but by muting them and leaving the instrumental key change I was left with quite a dramatic change to end the song almost venturing into post-hardcore territory on the way out. In a few different places throughout the song I recorded the vocal reverb onto a separate track and then used various plugins to distort and change that sound and layer it back over the original. Huuuuugeee hall reverbs are working in conjunction on the high pitched backing vocal and there are 8 slightly different tracks panned across the stereo field to try and emulate a synth pad. So yeah, here's a track I really enjoyed putting together. 

As always, thanks for checking it out 🤟
