Doug,
Well done cue! Definitely alternative. However, I do hear how it veers from the ref tracks that I listened to...
I A/B'd your track and
Pushback a few times before I read the rest of the thread. I have to agree with Casey; your treatment of the supporting instruments sounded more 80s to my ears. Then I listened to the spoon track, and while I certainly can't know what the screener meant by their comments, I can hear that the guitars (supporting elements) closely mimic the bass or provide a backing texture - as opposed to the countermelody treatment you gave in your track.
Maybe in the screener's mind the genre has fewer independent elements; your track actually has more going on than they expected? That's all I got
Hi Alan, really appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment! If you're all hearing an '80's vibe, then I'll just keep working to get it to sound more current if/when a similar listing comes around : )
Many thanks!
Doug

Hey Doug,
I got a return on this one and I got the exact same response.
The Spoon reference ! and Not Modern Indi.
I felt it was in the ball park with the first one as well.
Same old

Can you post the track? We have the listing text further up. I don't know why the screener keeps referring to that 4th reference in the list (Spoon). That's unusual. Even if your track didn't meet the listing requirements for a forward, you might want to ask Taxi about that.
Best,
Casey

Hi Larry, sorry to hear that. As Casey says, go ahead and post the track -- would love to hear it...
Cheers,
Doug
