They sound wild! Again, all recorded live with us playing in the same room at the same time to tape. It sounds different to Big Animals though..BIGGER almost..different..new!
Sunday was a solid day of setting up, getting levels, making sure we were all happy with the sounds coming back off the tape..once we were (took most of the day) we just kept going til we got the right take. This took roundabout 9 tries for By The Sea each take getting faster by 5 seconds exactly. We were done at 3.35. Newspaper got done in fewer takes..in fact the take we went with may even be the first take (proper) we did a version first with an extended part that we all agreed was a waste of time.
So here we are. Mixing the tracks tomorrow. Vocals were all done on Monday whilst the rest of us made tea for those working..skived off to play GTA4...made lunch for everyone which included an insanely hot scotch bonnet (vicar) and was too hot for some..read viz...drew artwork ideas..and defaced whatever was laying around:
Ain't nothing better than tape!
