Self-consciously wacky, but OK.

6 point(s) for Performance
Interesting sound to the vocals, and everything is well-played, especially the doomy guitar riff.

6 point(s) for Capture
The whole concept is a bit strained and very derivative of Danger Mouse/Gnarls Barkley. I do like the fuzz guitar and distortion effects in the final minute.

Need to find own voice and production feel, though this is a good solid 'in-the-style-of...' exercise.

My brief says the comments should be constructive. I will try...Promising title but can't quite make out the lyrics. Stuff gets repeated a lot. Is it art? Make music that is challengingly bad in order to make a point that a lot of commercial music that we are being force-fed is actually pretty bad?
I don't care! We can chose the music we listen to and personally I don't listen to music with my thinking (or not thinking) brain. In case it's meant to be art it's not quite working for me. If it's not meant to be art it is daringly bad.

Performances all round pretty bad and not bad enough to be really good again. best x Simon Cowell

Not sure about this track. Initially liked the hi voice, remiscent of 70s stones tracks or something but
too samey throughout the song

Cool weird image. The mystery... You guys are probably an alter ego of a bunch of bankers or Sony A&R people jamming and taking the piss. If you are, let me know and I'll take it all back.

Original psychedelic style with a touch of Zappa / Scissor Sisters

Interesting eclectic mix – very whacky. The performance is right on target with their particular influences in mind!

6 point(s) for Capture
The production works really well for the vocals but not sure about the instrumentation unless you’re deliberately trying to be freaky! If anything the guitar solo could be more “out there” - maybe think Eddie Hazel/Funkadelic. Ween would be a great influence on the production for a track like this too

Far out. Sounds wrong in a good kind of way!
