Gosh, am I happy not having to play the bass part in this song. It's nuts. XD
It might not show but I can tell by the sheer number of takes I needed how a long pause from singing made it way harder that it had to be. But I'm happy with the result, now.
Thanks to
AstorShepherd for suggesting this song! It's a really cool one!
And since I've never heard of the song nor the band before, here are some tidbits from Wikipedia:
"Mayor of Simpleton" is a song written by Andy Partridge of the English band XTC, released as the first single from their 1989 album Oranges & Lemons. The single reached No. 72 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, No. 1 on its Alternative Songs chart, and No. 15 on its Mainstream Rock chart, becoming the band's best-performing single in the United States.
Thanks for listening. May your life be full of wonders.
Main vocals (double-tracked) and a few backing vocals after the last chorus by me
Backing track from Youtube
Software used: Ardour 6.6
Effect-Plugins used: ACE Delay, ACE Compressor (mono & stereo), ACE High/Low Pass Filter, Dragonfly Hall Reverb, Calf Equaliser 5 Band, Calf Deesser, Calf Multi Chorus, Hard Limiter
