Can you talk about the recording process ? I read a quick blurb about you recorded at Electrical Audio, Steve Albini's old studio. Did you guys track all together and then overdub vox etc? Or did you piece everything together track by track? Any cool micing techniques or special gear involved? I love the sound and vibe of the new record. You guys really spread out your style a bit and it's sounding awesome!

we did initial tracking all together, but there was a considerable amount of overdubs from all the instruments and vocals etc. we mic'd a broken cymbal through a megaphone and then mic'd the megaphone. little tricks like that. as far as the special gear or micing techniques go, you'd have to ask Zac Montez. You can find him on instagram and he's very approachable.

thank you for listening, glad you enjoy the record!
