Diana Rogerson: “Falling Apart”
Experimental psych? You don’t say, Diane Rogerson. Our highlighted track “falling apart” toys with pure noise during the intro, but kicks into gear as a kind of freeked-out, bass-driven wyrd pop.
There’s nothing too experimental about the bass line, which undergirds the song, and is the oldest trick in the book (along with a steady drum beat) for holding together disparate scraps of sound that the musician ultimately does not know how to put together.
Watch out for the vocal performance – it’s way foregrounded in the mix, which might normally be a problem, but half the time the artist is yammering like Meatwad or Liberace, so you hardly notice the quality of the mix.
