Ladders - Cassini Meet Saturn - Music - Forums : Best Ever Albums

Anonymous · 2013-04-21T10:11:40-04:00

Hey all, After four months I've finished my very first solo album 'Ladders'. It's acoustic driven indie rock, if that's your thing - but I've tried to keep it progressive. I recorded the whole thing in my bedroom (cliche I know) with a microphone I picked up on Amazon for about 80 quid, so needless to say the album will feel very lo-fi; my challenge was get it sounding as good as possible with the limited technology I had, but retain some of that sweet lo-fi charm. If I had to say what it sounded most like, I'd say my key influences for this album would be Bon Iver, The Antlers, R.E.M.,Neutral Milk Hotel and Sufjan Stevens - to name a few. My ultimate goal was capture how I saw the world as a seventeen year old kid, as something I'd be able to return to. At the end of the day I'm just a dumb kid who has a lot yet to live through, but that's exactly what this record is about. It would mean a huge deal to me if you gave it a listen and told me what you think of it, all constructive criticisms welcome. Whilst I don't want so sound like a hippie and act like I don't want your money, I've made the album free to download - of course I'd greatly appreciate any funds coming my way, but I don't want anyone to feel like my music should be paid for to be accessed. I've said enough, here's the album, I hope you enjoy. It's only 32 minutes in length, so hopefully giving it a listen won't feel like too much of a commitment. http://cassinimeetsaturn.bandcamp.com/ Ladders 1. In The Trees ... 1:26 2.

Very pretty, very passionate, and really just a nice album. I'm not sure how memorable it will be, but only time will tell. I definitely feel like this is a sort of starting point, and if you expand on your sound, and really flesh it out (and maybe get better recording equipment) you could make something really special. :D

I really hope so - glad you enjoyed it 😄

Well, my thoughts.

Hmm...

Great introduction to the album. The first three songs create the perfect lo-fi atmosphere that is a soothing listen compared to some of the other stuff I have listened to recently.

I haven't updated my 2013 chart yet but this is in the top 20. The only track I didn't really enjoy was People Like Me; just didn't seem to fit.

Keep up the excellent work!

Thanks, really special to see myself compared to such bigger names on your chart 😄

People Like Me was an attempt to give the album a little more energy, but I agree, it does disrupt the mellow feeling held by the rest of the album, on reflection.
