Bit Shifter

Chumming The Ocean

I thought I'd crap up 8bc with some vocal experiments from a few years ago. This one's from 2004, a Game Boy rendition of an Archers Of Loaf song. The original's on their 1996 album All The Nations Airports on Alias, which is great. Nanoloop v1.2, vocals, generous reverb, heavy-handed compression.
