We have a song on the “Fevers and Mirrors” record, called “When the Curious Girl Realizes She’s Under Glass,” that I wanted to sound like someone eavesdropping on their neighbor, like, in the next-door apartment. So the whole song is recorded so that it sounds weird and muffled. You can hear the neighbor walking around, and turning on the TV and looking for a station. Anyone who didn’t know the idea would probably think it was the most annoying song ever, but, for me, it captured my idea perfectly.

Okay I remember asking someone to do this a while back but I’m not exactly sure why??? hahahahha. but tumblr wouldn’t let me post submissions for the LONGEST time. that’s fixed now, so here’s this. I don’t understand it either.

The song usually starts with a chord progression, either on piano or guitar then we’ll add vocals or melodies. I’ll just demo it real fast and bring it to the band, then we decide how to approach it. Sometimes we’ll try several different versions and we’ll talk about what the drums and bass should do. We’re not a live band at all. We’re a band because what you hear in the end is sort of a composite of all our ideas, but we’re not a live band in the sense that it’s very much a studio project. We’ve been doing this for a while so it’s always good to mix things up and not get too set in your ways. This was an interesting record because we had unlimited time and space. We didn’t feel the pressure in the sense that we were taking breaks between sessions. A lot of times the guys think about songs by living with earlier versions of them and saying “I like this” or “this isn’t working” and we’ll go back and try it another way. That was a good thing for us because with other records we were under the gun. No one was watching the clock or anything and I think the songs are better for it.
