tonyfranciosa Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) it's trendy Tik Tok bs. She bought a fully formed backing track, created by another band, and added some vocals over it. https://medium.com/@rinleonheart464/on-wisp-tiktok-shoegaze-and-the-art-in-artist-537ddafd9bc4 Edited April 13 by tonyfranciosa Mars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrocks Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 lol i mean shoegaze as a genre is built on essentially 2.5 tracks, and all music is stolen anyway so this isnt that wild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...seems like homie is hung up on some semantic stuff here. Like, if she'd been fully forthright and credited the producer would they still be upset? And it sounds like the issue is only with her "best" track. Rappers constantly buy already made tracks and put their lyrics over them, is that also not "real" music? Tons of pop artists have someone else write for them and are popular/easy to listen to or other bands have only one songwriter in the group and the rest of the band just plays their songs. I just don't have the bandwidth to get upset over this kind of stuff. whoa and burnthealbum 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Get upset or not that shit is incredibly corny and I'll be personally judging people who allow rap/hip-hop/pop artist/producer roles to invade rock genres. Step one to forgetting how to play instruments as a society and that's not hyperbole. tonyfranciosa and Bronchitis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrocks Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) thats cool and all but youre about 40 years too late on that. i havent listened to the track but i bet it sounds like most SG which makes half the people on here dizzy and the other half angry some of the best music of this century has been made with a keyboard and a hard drive (edit: not even that kind of keyboard) Edited April 16 by shamrocks whoa and Chrundle The Great 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) I enjoyed the Wisp ep the few times I've listened to it, and knowing that these are 'collaborations' with her vocals and other bands' instrumentations doesn't so much hamper me liking the sound of it, but it would at least make me hesitant about going to a show, not knowing if there would be any sort of cohesive band. It would also halt a blind buy of her future music, as she tries to actually learn to play instruments - which she said she is now doing. Who knows if she'll live up to the hype and praise she's being given or will justify some people's distain. Time will tell.

I'd rather put my effort and money into finding an artist who wasn't looking for shortcuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuff like this just sounds like aural plastic... humans made it but nothing is there. tonyfranciosa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
