Wow. Yesterday I asked for assistance in selecting a track for the upcoming album, and 20 hours later I've received comments, emails and votes from absolutely all over the planet. This is awesome.

At the moment it looks like 2 out of 3 persons prefer Sandtraps over Nightswim. I must disclose, this is very similar to my own taste. Personally I have been leaning towards Sandtraps for the album. I like the track slightly better than Nightswim, because it is more immediate, more melodic, and I also think it better fits the album as a whole. It just grooves better.

But what makes this a difficult decision - as many has pointed out - Nightswim is a sleeper, a fresh direction for Ugress, and potentially more attractive as a complete track in a larger setting. It is slightly more demanding, but also more rewarding. It grows better.

To complicate matters even more - Nightswim exists in three different versions, has been through hundreds of edits, was almost included on Unicorn, was almost used as in-between single between the albums. It has been an "almost" track for a long time.  

Anyway. I am extremely grateful for the feedback, both the numeric stats and written opinions. Keep it coming - not only is the observations useful for the album selection, but it is also very educational and informative for the production process.

I am definitively doing this more.
