Time In The Sun

Mostly instrumental. (I'd keep the repeated line, but replace the wordless vocal bit with some horns if I had access to any, and have them carry on through the rest of the song.) Much, much more guitar layering than I usually do. Strangely (?), I think my favorite parts of the song are skittering electronic bits of the drum track and the bass line.

This has a great feel. Those are my fave parts too, just really well done.

I think this is my favorite sparkleTUNE. (See what I did there?)

Nice work.

You are a clever Ynoxas.

Possibly even the only clever Ynoxas.

Reminds me a bit of Broken Social Scene—something in the slightly edgy glittery/sparkly lounge groove, the sound of the guitar. I could see drinking, a lot, to this.

Way back when I first came up with the initial idea for this one, You Forgot It In People was all new and hot and stuff. And a couple of my favorite songs on the album have kind of a lazy-sunny-vibe that I really like.

If I thought I could pull it off, I'd have tried to emulate that a bit more in the production for this demo. But I don't think I can, and thought it better to play it straight rather than muck things up.
