Bitbeak's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[isolation]

You had me at cowbell. I can’t say this is a sound i’d ever seek out but it’s a track that really stands out on this site. Appreciate the earnestness of the lyrics and the simple but effective instrumental.

Also, imo your production’s clean enough that you don’t really need to post the lyrics, lol

BIGKILL2 responds:

Thank you! If you like cowbell there is more where that came from on the album, like happiness has some similar sounding cowbells in there! Thank you for supporting it means a lot!

[Never Ending Complications]

This rules, that ending felt like it was going somewhere though.

It had legs, walking legs, man

baryiscool responds:

yeah sorry it's a lil short
it's more of a experiment for me personally trying to mix vocals
the instrumental will be posted later today

[Lost Sun]

Something nice about the space you left in this. Your vocals teeter really close that edge of being too loose without it ever feeling messy.

Nice little tune, wish the ending let the notes fade out though.

MrEnglandMusic responds:

Thank you! I was thinking about coming back to it and finishing it up. But I like how it is! I had Elliott Smith in mind when I was recording the guitar!

[bitbeak - wanderer (popola's version)]

This was so unexpected, man. Love your take on this. Really touched you felt compelled to have a go at it :*)

The additional instrumental tracks and all the reversed recording play make for a super lovely build. As always, your production and playing are top notch.

popolamusic responds:

grateful you let me put my own spin on it man. love your stuff!

[I Know]

Really organic, love the vocal delivery. Super pretty track, the simplicity works for it.

You’ve got a pretty unique sound for this site, like it kinda harkens to some early 00’s indie stuff in a good way.

Nodle responds:

Thank you! Was NOT expecting this to get as many plays as it did and was mostly just having fun. It's great to know that a couple people are getting something out of it : )

Making another that's coming along and I hope it can top this one. Cheers man!

[that date went fucking awful and i just need some catharsis]

Always love your production and playing man, the combo of the open strings and the muted chords is so dang nice. A peaceful sad.

Unrelated, but I’m about to be on the less busy side of some other projects if you wanna work on another track at some point here :)

Also, sorry your date apparently was fucking terrible lol

popolamusic responds:

I'm down any time.
And it's alright, I knew I was about to go home and record some heat when it was over.
respect brother <3

[i love the rain]

Cute track, not my favorite vocal treatment but different strokes. Like the simple instrumental, a little melancholy in a catchy way.

wh1m5y responds:

Thank you! <3

[Constellation]

I get animal crossing crossed with some sega saturn kinda sounds. Nice music for vibing to.

popolamusic responds:

thanks for listening :)

[ANGELINE]

Really pretty, love the production on this, it's spare in a really pleasant way. Wish the vocals had a little more high end, but it all works together overall.

xxxZigZagxxx responds:

Thank you! 💛💛✨✨🙏🙏

[I Saw A Bee]

Genuinely wish this was a lead in to a longer track.

Zyri responds:

Oh my goodness thank you!
