I used Ardour 5.* for the DAW.
Adjusted the soundcloud EQ for a phone speaker :roll:
I classify it as Rural Electric, so that's country or blues forced into an EDM style.

I screwed the the mix forever, I think there just might be too much going on.

I like it. It reminds me of early Captain Beefheart. You just need to make it a little stranger (more "angular" as Cap would say), and give it some surrealistic lyrics.

My fav story about Don Van Vliet (Cap) was when he was recording "Doc at the Radar Station", a very difficult release musically. (He frequently has some of band playing in different meters simultaneously, i.e. polyrhythmic). The drummer was having trouble playing this particular passage, and Don's instruction was "it needs to sound as if you're playing while balancing a plate of baked beans in one hand".
