A Night Out With The Skulks

Hi there Kev Fletcher, I’m diggin’ the feel good vibe and the twangy guitar melodies in this track. However, I’m afraid I’ll have to pass on this track as the mix of the drums and bass lacked depth to me. I prefer a well-defined low end in the bass and a deeper low end in the kick. Best of luck!

The arrangement was solid enough for my taste. However, I think the processing of each element could be improved. The vocals were too dry, and the banjo was too mid-forward. I'll decline for now due to this aspect. Still, I appreciate you sending this over! Wishing you the best on this.

Hello Kev Fletcher, Thank you for submitting your track “A Night Out With The Skulks”. The vocal performance conveys personality and demonstrates confidence throughout the track, helping to present the artistic direction in a clear way. However, during our listening process, we noticed that certain parts of the production feature a stronger concentration of high frequencies. This makes the sound more piercing in some sections and ultimately does not fully align with the balance and naturalness we look for in our playlists. Thank you again for your submission. We wish you all the best in your musical career!

Thank you for your submission. I enjoyed elements of this song. Some clever lyrics. However I didn't connect with the vocal performance. Some of the phrasing sounded not so natural and I also didn't quite get into the general story of the song. For that reason I won't be sharing. I wish you all the best and thanks again.

Hello, Kev Fletcher, hope this message finds you well. Thank you for sharing your song "A Night Out With The Skulks" with us. We really enjoyed the rhythm of the track, and the arrangements are beautifully crafted to keep a steady, engaging pace throughout the listening experience. However, during the choruses, the vocal foundation carries a slightly sharper edge. This introduces a texture that feels a bit processed, which gently steps away from the warm, organic acoustic presence we are currently seeking for our playlists. Because of this, we unfortunately have to decline your track at this time. We hope to cross paths with you here again somewhere down the road. If possible, please consider leaving us a review on the platform and letting us know if this feedback was helpful in any way, your opinion means the world to us. Wishing you great success in your music career, and we hope our paths cross again.

Hi there! Thanks for your submission. Nice banjo inserts with catchy drums and deep bass. I liked uplifting chorus as well. But the lyrics section doesn't really resonate with my playlist concept. Thanks again and good luck with your project. I'm sure you'll find your audience soon. Please remember it's only my personal opinion.

You wrote a great story and the banjo sounds fantastic. The vocals are great- have a very cool fashionable retro vibe in the verses- made me think of John Denver. The choruses needed to be more energetic musically and not just during the vocal shouts. When you sing you have half the pub singing along with you.. and your wife is telling you to get your arse out of that door sing with the same emotion that you communicate lyrically. Lots of good ideas but the lack of strong obvious choruses and a more modern sound were things that took the song out of the add zone for my lists. Keep up the interesting work Kev.

Thanks so much for sending us your track! There’s a lot to like here, especially the vocals. Unfortunately, I didn’t quite connect with the lyrical themes, which felt a little too familiar to me. We do have some singer/songwriters and Americana in our playlist but more in the indie folk vein. Hope that makes sense. It’s really just a matter of personal taste and the sound we’re trying to capture. Wishing you all the best with the release!

Hey Kev Fletcher, while the vocal had a catchy cadence and melody, I'm afraid the song's audio quality sounded too airy and thin for my liking which took away a lot of impact from the performance. I'm sorry to pass for now.

Hi Kev Fletcher, the lively energy and feel-good vibe of the acoustic instrumental caught my ear but unfortunately the vocal sounded a bit too bright and airy in the mix for my liking as I usually prefer vocals to sound more full and upfront. I'm afraid this means I won't be including this song in my picks for today as the vocal production quality didn't fully meet my standards.

Fantastic track . It has great vocal content and catchy melodies . The instrumental also sounds amazing . But currently I am looking for a bit more light and jolly stuff , Dusty Springfield style . Good luck! eager to hear more from you.

O banjo apresenta um arranjo incrível, vendo que apresenta boas propostas legais ao longo dos trechos musicais. Porém, a qualidade sonora ela pode não ser desejável para algumas partes de ouvintes pensando em listas de reproduções. Apesar de ter boa estrutura musical e pequena virada de bateria, os sons presentes parecem ter artificial em vez de ter captação real. Eu vejo no seu contexto tentar um trabalho que seja digno e acessível. Isso acontece em todo mundo, pois o objetivo está além de ter dinheiro, preservar saúde. Enfim, sua música está maravilhoso! Por questões de seletividade, asseguro manter playlists com qualidade de curadoria. Bom trabalho!

Solid licks here and nice mellow and charming vocal tone / performance. A bit too country leaning for me, looking more for indie rock. Thanks!

The song has a very pronounced, relaxed country vibe. The artist offers melodies that suit the genre; the chorus is good, but I feel the vocal production has an EQ that could be refined further to achieve a higher-quality sound. Regards

Appreciate you sending this our way. Usually drawn to darker and moodier songs, so this doesn’t quite fit, but there’s a really nice emotional quality to the performance. Good luck with this one, I’ll be keeping an ear out!

Hey, the vocals are definitely good and I find the lyrics interesting all the way through. It's just that the mastering lacks some body, so try to make it a bit less muddy next time. Unfortunately, I'll decline for now. Cheers!

Hello folks, hope you're doing well. Super dope vibe you've made. great job on the production here, really does the song well. but I am just not personally connecting with the lyrics on this one. generally we are just seeking out a bit more of an angsty or aggressive vibe lyrically. this is just a little bit uplifting and happy for us. really nice track, excellent playing from the entire band. the banjo really shines too. just not quite up our alley. ciao
