Is that like a little nylon-stringed parlour guitar there? Or just high-capo'd? Very nice, regardless. comment:music.metafilter.com,2008:site.1575-7465 Sat, 10 Nov 2007 23:03:47 -0800 chococat http://music.metafilter.com/1575/A-Shrieking-Blue#7466 Thanks guys! It's, in fact, a high-capo'd nylon-stringed guitar. You're doubly right. comment:music.metafilter.com,2008:site.1575-7466 Sun, 11 Nov 2007 10:02:14 -0800 ORthey http://music.metafilter.com/1575/A-Shrieking-Blue#7469 Again, great picking. You've got skills that I hope are paying the bills. comment:music.metafilter.com,2008:site.1575-7469 Sun, 11 Nov 2007 13:37:25 -0800 ageispolis http://music.metafilter.com/1575/A-Shrieking-Blue#7488 This is another beauty ORthey. Your initial picking sounds a lot like the sound of a little hand-cranked music box my kid and I were playing with at some art museum. Very sweet. comment:music.metafilter.com,2008:site.1575-7488 Tue, 13 Nov 2007 16:01:47 -0800 snsranch http://music.metafilter.com/1575/A-Shrieking-Blue#7503 the vocals/instrumentation brought to mind devendra banhart... that's a good thing. comment:music.metafilter.com,2008:site.1575-7503 Thu, 15 Nov 2007 15:35:08 -0800 rooftop secrets http://music.metafilter.com/1575/A-Shrieking-Blue#7509 Fantastic. I thought I knew what was going on, but it kept coming. Might I suggestion you consider a bass & percussion? comment:music.metafilter.com,2008:site.1575-7509 Thu, 15 Nov 2007 21:25:48 -0800 erikgrande http://music.metafilter.com/1575/A-Shrieking-Blue#7548 I love the high-capoing, and your picking is terrific. The layering halfway through creates a great sense of space. Is that two banjos, a baritone uke and a banjo, more high-capoed goodness, or what? comment:music.metafilter.com,2008:site.1575-7548 Wed, 21 Nov 2007 07:31:35 -0800 umbú http://music.metafilter.com/1575/A-Shrieking-Blue#7699 Wow. The tone of the lyrics is so different from the tone of the music, it's quite unsettling -- in a good way. comment:music.metafilter.com,2008:site.1575-7699 Fri, 30 Nov 2007 18:39:32 -0800 Rock Steady http://music.metafilter.com/1575/A-Shrieking-Blue#8057 A strummed banjo is a really nice sound that is not utilized often enough. Well done! comment:music.metafilter.com,2008:site.1575-8057 Sat, 29 Dec 2007 14:02:17 -0800 Corduroy
