A Genre-Bending Single from ferrylife


A new single from ferrylife is a total genre-bender and is one of those tracks that you don't quickly forget because it is completely built and created with much fewer boundaries than you may be used to, but I feel like that's something that really makes it work as well as it does.


"lost my weed in the woods" is an experimental but addictive single and it's mainly because it carries with its elements of hip-hop, singer-songwriter, and a unique recording approach that layers vocals which end up sort of bouncing off of each other in different ways along with this heavy-handed beat in combination with acoustic guitars.


All of this combined makes for such a cool-sounding track and on top of that the way it was produced and mixed was also quite unique because one of the main vocal tracks has this vocal effect on it that makes it a pitch higher than it actually was almost like when you suck the helium out of a balloon and your voice changes that to that higher octave.


There are also vocals on it that are more in the background but are not coated with this effect so that combination also provides a cool set of layered vocals, and those two different vocal tracks are the ones that bounce off each other.


There's a ton of great guitar work on this track and I feel like that hip-hop element on the vocals, those acoustics being layered and sounding lush, and the beat really gives you something kind of addictive.


Most people would say this was maybe bedroom pop or Indie pop but it's not. It's not anything that's one specific genre.


It blends and mends several genres together to create an atmosphere that has a weird way of engulfing you but it's super fun when it happens.


As I mentioned before, there's nothing about this that is cookie cutter or very normal. This is not a song that was written to conform to any kind of societal radio-friendly style music.


The funny thing about that is, it's strangely catchy. As soon as it's over, you have it floating around in your head and the only way to satiate that is to go and listen to it again.


I thoroughly enjoyed this track because I love music that has no walls built around it. The song is freeing in its own way and that's because that sense of sort of whimsical freedom is there right from the start.


All of this gives the song such character and I feel like that might be something you end up getting attached to as well.


This is something I also think has been missing with a lot of kinds of music. There's too much pop music out there now that is so pre-focused on sounding polished and like everything else that you hear.


This is much more fun. It's unexpected and surprising and that to me is completely refreshing along with the fact that again, it's catchy and sticks in your brain.


It also sounds like a track that was super fun to do. It sounds like it was a blast recording this song and the aesthetic of it came through exactly the way it was meant to.


Even that beat and percussion is so well done. It fits into the vibe and feel of the song perfectly.


This was a fun, semi-animated, charismatic, and outside-the-box single that really sucked me right in.


I would listen to this one with headphones on because it's one of the best ways to soak the whole track in.


There's actually a ton of things going on again, in terms of the vocals in the guitars especially and when you listen to it with headphones you can hear all those layers happening.


Check this track out and remember where you heard it first.
