Sift

Kind of a break from recording and re-recording songs to be played live this year, this is kind of a folksy, reverb and acoustic-heavy, simple and short composition. Harmonizing my vocals is such a bummer lately, since it reveals how limited one's range is...

We changed our locks
We knew you'd come

Sisters or your father

Just sifting through the cards
You know you're wrong

I like it! The vocals are nicely understated, and it builds to something interesting in a short period of time.

My only criticism: I'm not sure about that repeating high guitar part that goes from around 1:27 to 2:02. I like where it ends up, but I feel like it's a bit long and overpowers the quieter section. I might prefer to hear just the second half of it.

Nice song!

I like how eerie this starts. I agree with danb that you lose some of that in the latter half. The guitar seems way up front and raw/clean, it might blend better mixed back or treated with an effect. . just my $.02
