Sad Moon Above – New wave instrumental take πŸŽ§

Alright, I put my new keyboard and old bass to use and came up with a backing track for Sad Moon Above inspired by an early-1980’s new wave sound.

As always, this is a work in progress and more evidence that I am not a perfectionist. Vocals and more refinements to come.

This version is a big departure from the original acoustic backyard version, which I still love. I’m just happy to be pushing into new directions and make something that sounds closer to what I want for this version of the song.

And recording a bass line for the fist time was super fun. πŸͺ©
