Thanks for sharing your thoughts. This was a home recording, not live, and I hate to maybe ruin the experience by telling you this, but I built the drum track digitally, with the bass and guitar played by me on real instruments. I don't use pre made loops for beats, though, instead constructing the drum track from "scratch" so to speak.
So the offbeat sound is definitely planned that way, and was somewhat inspired by the drums for Bahaus's "Bela Lugosis's Dead" - hence the horror theme.
Some of the rawness comes from me using a cheap guitar and bass on an old laptop and software from ten years ago. That and my playing style; imagination... If I upgrade I hope to still maintain that feel.
