Hi guys,

I'm about to release my debut album - 'Interior City' by The Gabriel Construct. Here's a full stream: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFRRR0j5trs)

Thanks for listening!

Kind of wild and a bit all over the place. I'm reminded of Arcturus, actually. Your production needs work though.

I'm definitely a fan of all of Rygg's work. What aspects of the production do you dislike? Is it the distorted piano?

I think production actually sounds pretty good. It's just not peak normalized like every other album and single out there today. IMHO that's a good thing. Today "good production" usually means compressors piled on top of compressors.

I like the sound though. I haven't really heard anything like it. Keep up the good work.

This.

Listen to it in context with the entire record, then see what you think. I've had others comment on that aspect negatively only to change their mind upon hearing the whole thing.

Some new tunes with a different spin... (https://logicalphalluses.bandcamp.com/)

Congrats on getting it out there frog :)

Though I gotta agree with others. I liked the first minute or so which was all moody, but once the vocals and harder music kicks in, it kinda feels disjointed to me. I'm not sure how to classify it. Reminded me of a few tracks of Flaming Lips that are kinda like that.

Not really my cup of tea as far as music goes so I can't really comment further!
