Hi Tape-Oppers,
I'm playing with some guys in a three-piece - drums, keys, guitar/vox. Music is pretty varied, some instrumnetal, some fairly dance-able originals. We decided to do an album. We recorded basics in the drummers attic studio, and I did several overdubs at my house, as well as some flown in vox, and guitar tracks from the attic.
I've been working on these tracks for about a month, and feel they are pretty close to ready to go. ...I think. I'd really love some feedback from an outside perspective. Thanks for your time.

Radiohead-esque trio - how are these mixes?

Ah, my bad.
I listened to 3 or 4 of the songs. I like the arrangements and the performances. The mixes are clean and clear, which may not be what you want if you are going for a Radiohead vibe. Thom Yorke has quite a vocal personality, he can bring a lot of intensity to even an understated vocal line, and the rest of the band can sometimes match it.
If you are going for that sort of a vibe, I'd probably add a bit more distortion and get more creative with effects (delay, distortion, compression, etc), limit the frequency range of various instruments, etc. It's an overused buzzword but think more lo-fi.
I like these tracks, but that's what I'd do to get more of the Radiohead vibe.
