Birth day party-fears of gun
• The song is in 5/4 timing with a moderate tempo.
• The bass line is a riff that moves in 2-3 tone steps and repeats itself through out the song apart from in the brake it stops all together, it creates an eerie rhythm.
• The bass has a low/standard range.
• The drums tape the rim of the snare in quavers in part one of the drumming, crating a build up of tension.
• In part two of the drumming, he hits the snare twice and then the floor tom like this [S S : T :] this creates a release of tension and then in part three of the drumming, uses a cymbal at the same time as the snare and changing the riff to [S S : T T], this creates another build-up of tension.
• Part four of the drumming he hits the high hat open in quavers creating even more tension. In part three hits the crash and high hat in crochets with a 4 beat long drum roll every second bar to the end of the song.
• The guitar comes in late, part one is muted notes being strummed in quavers.
• Then part two of the guitar part in tone steps and uses blunt hammer-on’s and pull-off’s.
• The guitar is used to crate numbing distortion.
• The singing is off tone at the start and then becomes more drawn out later and begins to scream huskily sounding a bit nasial.
