Gremlin

Location:

Carl Sagan's Cosmos

About me:

Kirk Gremlin: all vocals, instruments, and production.

Influences: Low, Ryan Adams, Neil Young, Gram Parsons, Westerberg, Tortoise, Jobim, Charles Mingus, Harry Nilsson, Jackson Browne, Velvets, hip hop, lots of metal from Cinderella to Pantera, and pretty much any electronic and alt-country I can find.
I know a lot of those don't come through really, but they give me ideas, and inspire me to pick up the guitar or sit behind a keyboard.

I appreciate you stopping by for a listen. Hope the day (or night) finds you well, wherever you are.

All tracks are available for free. I will upload some more demos in the future. : )

s.a. zober gave feedback to Gremlin for “Home (sleeping ships demo)”:

Rockin #! Very cool new direction for you, I think. I feel like the vocals could be a little bit more forward in the mix. The performance itself is really good, vox wise, but their place in the mix seems a little too far back for my dollar!
I like the laid back feel of this one -- a lot less intense than some of your other tunes, but still very good composition, and maybe one of your more complete recordings, demo designation aside.Again, just kick the vox up me thinks! Thanks :-)

Gremlin thanks Sho!

Actually, this is one of Alex's songs so thats probably why it doesn't sound like one of mine. He sang the lead vocals and did the drum track. Funny story on this one: he wrote the music when we were in high school and finally finished it some 8 years later lol.

Anyways, I bumped it up in the mix. I had only one of my monitors last night working because of a bum xlr cord. Fixed now. Now to figure out how to reupload on here.... (Apr 29, 2013, 16:43 PDT)

. Angeleane (Sleeping Ships version)

s.a. zober gave feedback to Gremlin for “Angeleane (Sleeping Ships version)”:

The drums and percussion are sounding really good, man! Great harmonies as well, here at 1:15 and onward. Always a big fan of harmonies, myself.

I am working on a Magnum Opus, so it could be a while, because I don't have a grant, a mentor, and I'm not ready to die immediately after writing it yet...

Thank you,
Shoham
PS: Have you heard of this kid "Rollo"?

Gremlin haha thanks. Yea my friend is the harmony guy. I suck at them. Actually, everything on this track is the first take, so its kinda surprising it turned out so well. Basically what you are hearing is how we would sound live. Oh and who needs a click track to record? Not us! (Apr 24, 2013, 04:39 PDT)

. Don't Belong

s.a. zober gave feedback to Gremlin for “Don't Belong”:

Voice sounds good, dude. The production seems like you are really starting to pick up your game, and I guess that that might be the new mic, too....

Cool little change around 2. Going to check this out later on better speakers... Loving what I am hearing, dude!!!!
Great stuff, not surprisingly.
Thank you,
Uncle Showie

Gremlin Thanks Showie! Sorry it took so long to reply. This semester has been the death of me. Only a bit longer to go! I am going to post a recording our band did last week. Rendering it down to mp3 as I type. : ) (Apr 20, 2013, 07:30 PDT)
