This is the most perfectly messy performance I’ve ever seen. These guys have been basically my favourite band for over a decade and the imperfections are what make their sound so unique
Does anyone know what the green and purple pieces of gear are at 3:49 that he reaches for when he plays the knobs and pitch shifts? It sounds like a standalone oscillator having it's frequency modulated.
The green one is a Line 6 DL4 Delay/Looper, while the purple one is an FM4 Filter Modeler. It looks like he cranked up the feedback control on the FM4 to get some self-oscillation and then used the DL4 to loop it and make it stuttery.
This band has one of the worst vocalists out there. What a shame...the music itself is awesome but this atonal, wrong, out of any possible tune screeching is unbearable. And I don't mean the screams but the "clean" vocals.
What type of vocals would you consider to be ideal for this type of music? I've grown so used to his voice that I couldn't think of this or any of their songs any other way, but I'd love to hear a fresh take on it.
Clean vocals would easily fit but Thomas' cleans can only be called bad. I'm not saying that because I don't like it but because his technique is simply horrible. He has no pressure, no tuning, no precision. I believe that's the case because he has to focus on his guitar play so much because it has such a high aspiration level that his vocals are suffering under it.
Ah I gotcha dude. All of that is very apparent in all of the videos from around this time, but I think his voice was pretty good from like 2008-2010 compared to how it was before. However his screams suffered around that time too so it always seemed like something was off I guess.
