The New Wow

by @ttg105

Liner Notes

#newwave #minimalism #theremin

Just some offbeat fun. Tried to keep instrumentation to a minimum: one bass, one guitar and one theremin. Had to whisper the vocal b/c there were human beings in the other room.

Lyrics

It's you now
it's me now
it's we now
the new wow (the new wow)

It's you, me and we
we three now
it's me, you and we
we three now

And the cat goes "bow wow"
and duly kneels down
before the newly crowned
King Cow

Take it, man
take it
take it to town
take it to town
and get down
with the new wow (the new wow)

Dang, this all sounds so good. I think the minimalism really works. The bass/drum groove is killer, and the rhythm guitar is so tasty. Fantastic vocal, too. Wow! I was in the thrall of the tune. I had to go read the lyrics later. Made me smile. And, wow, that theremin is taking no prisoners. The mosh pit will get sweaty with this one

Yes, I, lying here in my motorhome tapping the bed as my drums I was so engrossed in them I had to go back again and listen to the rest. Goodness I was hypnotised by Ttg. Love it

Those tribal drums give this a ritualistic feel. Something dedicated to quietly invoking the spirit of Syd Barrett, I reckon. Video game theremin noises suggest that the invocation was successful.

Love the jazzy guitar here! The whispered vocals make a mysterious mood as if you would talk to us about a secret.
Love the bass!

This is great. Wow is such a common word, you can say it and hear it a million times and somehow it stays fresh. The mystery of when the theramin would come in was solved spectacularly. Just the idea of humans in the next room was special. And the bad ass bass and drum set the bottom in a smooth trench.
And ah, to be left with another mystery ... Who's duly and why does they kneel?

“Human beings in the other room” - lol! The whisper “effect” is effective. Love that bass!
