Awesome work everyone! I was really looking forward to everyone’s tunes and it really exceeded my expectations.
Taking inspiration from Sleeps on the last comp with his nice lil writeup for each tune.
Lost My 10mm
Sweltering and gliding basslines on this one. A distorted mid that’s reminiscent of car with a broken starter that fades in and out. Nice drum beat that sounds like it’s cobbled together with thumbtacks. I feel like I’m dying in my dads garage on a humid summer night as he tells me I’m holding the flashlight wrong.
Gloam Eyed Queen
HEAVY as fuck. As you’re already drowning in a sea of crushed distortion, all of a sudden an even more evil womp comes in to take you further. Could this be the Gloam Eyed Queen? Honestly I’m at a loss for more words. Bigups, Would love to cut this one to a dubplate for my personal collection.
Mason’s Girlfriend’s Dad
This is like being in a mutilated and abandoned factory on bad acid you keep wondering if you are alone. Suspenseful pads lift the shadows into cryptoid forms. Wish there was more to this one as all of a sudden the factory falls away and you realize it was all a dream.
Failing Down
It’s giving me serious Youngsta vibes as it builds suspense through increasingly spaced out mechanical string sounds as the beat echoes through the hall. I love the perc work, it really helps carry me through the soundscape. Probably my favorite snare on all the tunes.
Collared Master
Beautiful melody on this one that floats over everything. When it fades away you’re bound to contemplate the purpose of humanity until it comes back accompanied by a growl evocative of Kryptic Minds. Love the sub work on this.
Manly
The main melody makes me wonder “Is it manly to roll with the punches?” As more elements come in it gives me a memory of the passage of time as we march to a climaxing dry harmonica that perfectly compliments every moment. Manly takes you even farther with some nice glitches on the main idea.
Real Men Wear Pink
This one made me update my wardrobe with a new color. Really dig the lightly dancehallesque beat with the lovely chiming melody on top. Wish it was a little longer. Just as I’m sinking into the sand under a sunset it ends.
Again, awesome work everyone. Hope you enjoyed listening through as much as I have.

Lost My 10MM
A dead body found in the humid swamp. Prescription opioids and cheap bourbon.
Percussion is sick. Atmosphere is claustrophobic. That second half grime is pure filth.
Would love to have a go at the stems for this one.
Gloam Eyed Queen
Absolute terror. Relentless belligerence. Pure evil.
Mason’s Girlfriend’s Dad
K-hole full of broken glass and bad choices. Beat is nasty, feels dirty. Lots of texture and crunch.
Failing Down
What is with this sample pack that made everyone draw for the dirt. Another itchy incessant dirge (in a good way).
Collared Master
Some light in the murk. Dry ground in the mire.
Subtle floating delicateness. If Burial had been born in the countryside he might have sounded like this.
Manly
There’s definitely a tone-shift halfway thru these tracks. Another light and airy bubbler. Good work on using the harmonica.
Real Men Wear Pink
Can a tune be creepy AND whimsical? Quite unsettling this one. Like the intro music for a weird indie game

Made a story while listening to the entries:
Eyes open, mind broken. Gathering the light throughout the fog. Vision blurry, hands worried. Another hit will calm the nerve, another hit could cloud the day. Disoriented, shaky, “nothing will feel better” you react. Anything other will just collapse, you act. Search, search, search to no avail. You have Lost Your 10mm. Reality sets in front of you. For this time, the road has been paved for you. You know the feeling, you befriended ir before, as your body trembles to what fears the most. Walk, don’t run, as you have been here before. Memories of old, tears as you hold. For this, you have lived before, willing to just let things go. Depths in your guts, this is your time to run. Vision is limited to each step, fog and darkness consumes each breath. Is there something to hold? The breeze making you fold. You hear the call, you trip and fall. You catch your breath, subconcious breaks, looking down your knees, you see the Gloam Eyed Queen. Throat dry, eyes pry. Crawling fails as the Queen flails. Close enough to see her soul, distort your mind as you feel sore. Gasping for help, you can only feel pain. God feels close to you, the light runs in front of you. Awake at last, your throath is rasp. The warm asphalt under your chest. Heaving for some air. Again. Gearing towards getting up, when you see Mason’s Girlfriend Dad in front. Wrangle you asking for pay. Motion sickness strike, it feels like it takes a while. Looping in place, you get thrown in a metal plate. Half asleep, just trying to breathe. Keep Failing Down into sleep. Metal taste, alarm bells. Shaking like never before. Is this the moment when you lose your all? Dragged, bloodied, getting bagged. A Collared Master has spoiled your act. Choking on blood, vision starts to blurr. Between real and fake, fade away as they carry you away. Thinking of life, past, present, flies by. Moments of pain, feeling life sway away. Hold my hand. Please don’t let go. Manly is the way I will be remembered at all. Getting the strenght to get away, the only thing I want to say, Real Men Wear Pink.
