Song Of The Month Club - January 2026 - richardyot - 19-01-2026
What is the Song of the Month Club?
It's a place where musicians come to give and receive feedback on their work. Anyone is welcome, whatever their level of ability.
The spirit of the club is to contribute: if you submit a song for others to comment on, you should also have the courtesy to listen to everyone else's contributions and give as much feedback as possible. Posting a track and not listening and commenting on others is not cool.
The purpose of feedback is to be honest. Essentially you should give your truthful impressions of the song, whether good or bad. Negative feedback, if done in the right spirit and with courtesy, can be the most useful and can help the artist to grow.
All submissions are welcome, don't hesitate if you want to contribute. We like all kinds of music and we are particularly fond of vocals (but of course we still love a great instrumental). If you are thinking of experimenting with vocals this is a good place to get started.
We ask that you only post one song per month in this thread - if you're lucky enough to be able to produce more, then please just submit your strongest material
My entry for the month, a bit different to my usual shoegaze/alt rock, with a more acoustic feel. The verse melody came to me in a dream, and I was able to remember it after I woke up.

I think this has one of your best vocal performances (and recording quality is fantastic too). It has your usual memorable chorus hook which is already being a bit of an ear worm... The strings add a nice touch without being distracting and overall it's another well written, well crafted song.

Here's my entry for the month. A weird mashup of 303, 909, Vocoder, Strings and solo cello. I am not sure if it works or not but it was fun to make and that's the most important thing!

It's very 90s sounding to me, with the beat and squelchy filters, a mix of industrial and techno. The strings change the vibe a lot when they come in.
Love the twisted violin in the break and outro.

Thanks! It was one of those tracks that had started off as one thing and became another by accident.
