Hello James,
Cool stuff. I've been listening a lot to Slowdive's Souvlaki and newer

stuff like The Joy Formidable recently and I'd say it's shoegazer

allright ;) The drums remind me of old Cure stuff (Faith/Pornography) ,

especially at the end. The vocals are not that distinct but it suits the

track well, maybe they could've been a bit more airy, a bit more

ethereal. And the bass could use some more pronunciation maybe. The

ending is fine to me, maybe it should last a bit longer and with some

effects on the drums. I'm curious on how this track will evolve!
Best,
Jeremy
