So around the last week of recording our recent album “South America” we found out that our label would be releasing the album on vinyl (tight), but they needed a “bonus” track for that version. That bonus track was going to need to be written, recorded, and turned in to them asap so we kinda had to bust ass. After like 5 months of writing and a month straight of pulling 12-14 hour days in the studio (every fuckin day) we were pretty tapped creatively but we said “fuck it.” We got together a couple days after finishing the album (March 2010) and banged out a rough sketch of this song in a few hours. Then we hit up our good friend Goot and headed over to his Poughkeepsie NY studio to record this lil jam. We all chilled, had some good laughs, killed some drinks, and laid this one down. It was all really spontaneous and kind of crafted on the spot. We created the entire outro section by just simply having the ending go on and on. We didn’t know what the hell we were going to do with it until Sergio proposed the idea of recording 3 different tracks of slide guitar over it. We said “why not?” and he did 3 takes back to back to back and that was it. It turned out to be our favorite instrumental section we’ve ever recorded and it’s literally just 3 first takes and some fuckin heart. That’s why we love music and that’s why this track has a feeling to it that we cant really explain. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do. If you want to own it, pick up “South America” on vinyl. much LOVE
