February 23, 20223 yr Author Dead Of Night (feat. Linnea Olsson) - Daniel Olsén & Jonathan Eng Wolves rarrr! XhfcUAs3W4M Absolutely obsessed with the soundtrack to Sayonara Wild Hearts- which is a game all about the music. There's a pop album written for the game (which is essentially a rhythm game with a sweet lil story) and it has several bangers that go OFF. There were a couple others I considered entering but didn't because they were less than 2 minutes, or a medley I considered entering but without context might not have worked so well. Dead Of Night is such a tune and with the visuals alongside it is absolutely incredible. Would definitely recommend playing the game, approx 2 - 3 hours playtime I'd guess, very replayable. As soon as I finished playing I added this to my library and have been listening to it a fair bit, only discovered this on Friday! Perfect timing for this contest. :wub:
February 17, 20232 yr Author See The Light - Weird Wolves nN7IOjvygUY If my entry is wolf theme I post here apparently. I still have a national thread! I think taking a break was actually good for me (admittedly enforced, December was really full on for me and the deadline passed without me noticing oop). I'm really hyped for this contest and had plenty of time to think about potentials, I found this while on a YouTube hunt through Out Of Line's channel (label) and found this absolute banger. Some edgy synthrock for you all this month. The verses really hit hard with super cool bass synths and chorus builds nicely back into them, and lead vocals gives me slight Fever Ray/ The Knife vibes. What more could you want? x
February 27, 20232 yr Author Qualification Running Tally Q: 33 DNQ: 33 Total Entries: 66Just been sorting out my stats/ original post, updating the last few contest and I checked my Q/ DNQ stats and found this- the qualifier stat include Weird Wolves. Exactly half and half at the moment, thought it might be worse than that. The last year hasn't done me many favours on the whole. :lol:
May 1, 20232 yr Author Vitamin Sea - Owl City 1n1qFLcM_Hc I'm really happy to have qualified this time, Owl City meant a lot to me growing up, but the last few albums, although I generally liked them, didn't have quite the same feel (the odd track aside). Coco Moon, while not perfect for me feels like the best offering from him since All Things Bright and Beautiful (2011), and Vitamin Sea completely recaptures the Ocean Eyes era for me with a more mature sound, and other parts of the album have some really interesting experimental things going on. I wouldn't have usually entered an artist this well known, even if "well known" is just for a historical couple of hits but (to slightly loop back to the previous conversation) I felt really hard done by when I DNQed with my 50th with Lights so this felt like a surrogate anniversary to me. I didn't even expect to necessarily qualify because I had no idea how well that kind of sound would go down here, but it looks like it worked out this time. I absolutely adored Owl City when I was younger, my taste has definitely evolved a lot since then but this kind of sound will always take me back, and Vitamin Sea is like an Ocean Eyes track but punchier, and with keytar solos. Really happy to have qualified and looking forward to seeing who the fans are. :wub:
