If out-Frowns means experimental then lol

If you do want some experimentips you can hit me up, I won't be jealous if you try to make your music more interesting.

No.

I like that piece and if it were successfully extended into something long enough to make one of my record reviews I’d call it an ambient/drone neo psychedelic duo with at least one member who obviously likes Ummagumma. I’d rate it “recommended” but unfortunately it doesn’t actually exist, yet.

Frown on the other hand has a respectable discography fully realized available on Bandcamp and Spotify. I think his finest release is probably Andaman. We discussed it at length on lamp lighter. My assessment of it is “highly recommended” which may sound like a small distinction but it’s a much higher praise than just “recommended” in my mind and is used as a cue to fans of the genre that hold up I’m really serious you need to take the time to hear this.

And sorry if I’m beating a dead horse but the fact the entire albums are realized and actually exist and made available for consumption- the comparison is between potentially good music that hasn’t been realized to great music that is, in fact, realized.

So, no, it doesn’t out frown frown. Instead of trying to out frown frown I’m looking forward to hearing you out Joe Pass frown.

You're so unassailable, a poll would be boring and meaningless.

I doubt I'm on any member's level of instrumentation though

Frownland is legitimately one of my favorite guitarists, this is one of those songs that I love more than life itself https://jesusthecarpenter.bandcamp.c...int-soundtrack

I think I may have once even used the term "god tier" to describe his playing

Frown's a fine guitarist and his good stuff is pretty damn good.
But he has no filter and lots of his stuff seems uninspired and downright lazy, which really bogs down his albums.
Which is a shame because he has fantastic tracks here and there, but I only listen to albums which are good throughout. So sadly no Frown in my playlists.

I definitely cop to being lazy in a lot ways, especially in terms of song/album structure and production. I haven't dropped what I would call an inconsistent record in terms of quality since about 2015 though. You just have to get on my level, grindy.
