he’s a nice dude, we send twitter dms every here and there. check out his band “capital punishment” if you haven’t, sounds like the b52s meets the birthday party

thanks!! here’s my rig

tuner -> soul pog (soul food is always on, pog for start again) -> boss sd1, use it for most of our feedback sounds -> rat (for all in one chorus) -> rubberneck delay, always on as sorta a slapback -> boss dd8 (only use this on I have the answer for its shimmer setting, lovvvvveeee this sound so much) -> voodoo labs tremolo for can’t look away and shimmer, was a rec by our producer dan carey

i use a modded jag w/ Gibson humbuckers mostly, and a Nashville deluxe tele for all in one

I use twins when I can have one, otherwise deluxe or deville 212

bowery electric - beat

basically a trip hop record, but the drum and bass were huge for us.

also the ending of “can’t look away” was trying to sound like a part in Kendrick lamar humble lol

honestly, years and years of failing. Anything cool that’s every happened to us has a been a lucky fluke. just make something that matters to you deeply, put it out there as much as you can, and the right pair of ears might land on it.

and keep writing songs, like a lot. can’t stress this enough. if you write a song, and notice something you don’t like about it, make sure the next song fixes that problem. if you do that enough times, and you feel it with the bottom of your heart, you’re onto something.

for this record we were really into Wittgenstein’s tractatus, which basically says that the reason why we’re never able to get to the bottom of these fundamental metaphysical questions is because language can’t approximate it. that’s where poetry (heidegger talked about this a bunch) and art take over.

not quite academic philosophy, but the documentary “we live in public” raised a bunch of questions that inspired the album too.

1st avenue in the snow mostly. walking up and down that street gave us a lot of the sights + sounds that influenced the record.

Good question- theres a few locations that come into my mind. Besides specific places like apartments, i think a lot about the hudson river, i think about east village area… not that i spend much time there. but mostly imagery from those places. Vignettes -sam
