We had a 69 Chevy Station wagon and a 66 Buick Special. My sister and I cane home from the hospital in them and drove them to college. Fun to hear all the optimism those tail fins were once imbued with. I like how the music ramps up the optimism and muscle car joy.

Ooh funky! I like how the sample and sonic landscape you’ve created work together.

Dreamy, spacey, a little vaporwave-y, huge and floating - and then that horn sample comes in at the end with its bit of chugging cacophony like the hell of a car descended from the ethereal realm and is headed straight for hell itself. Really fun track.

i love the interactions between the string-type synth and bass in this one. the piano adds such a delicate, welcome timbre when it enters—the percussion in this is lovely too, it just lulls you a long in a wonderful way. i love the chugging a long in the last minute or so of the song. this is really wonderful, possibly my favorite track of yours!

What a delightful synth interruption! Like the tv is bored selling and starts to imagine the amazing interconnectedness of things. You do that so very well in your musical journeys.

Great mix here! It's driving, but it's not like, aggressive or anything. You pull me into your world with such ease and clarity.

The drum beat and rhythms are like a mix of an engine of a car mixed with driving over a planked wooden bridge. The synth is funky at times and soothing in others… and slightly vocoder like… but I can’t quite make out what it is trying to tell me. 🚗🎶

Fabulous sonic landscape you’ve created… you do such cool things with found sound!

That drum pattern is so gorgeous. Especially the rides. They just bounce off each other beautifully. The lead synth line that comes in just before the halfway point really launches this into the stratosphere. Feels like traveling through time and space!

Great start, then it sounds like the car launches into the air, the ending has a slow down shift of the car coming to a stop nicely!

"Some things are meant to endure" is vaguely menacing... great sample choice! I love the layers here, especially those little puffs that sound almost like car exhaust. It's like you've bottled essence of automobile into a song! Those synths are super fun, love the movement in them. Really awesome work, this is such a good world of sound!
