Vocals used the RODE NT2000....

This song was another track where basics were cut in a studio, and overdubs done on an MBox. For the lo-fi guitar sound of the intro, we plugged into a tiny, broken-looking guitar amp in the studio, and turned the volume up all the way. It sounded terrible, just as we hoped....

This track is out of a recent album that we are currently recording. Everything isn't final of course. Also, keep in mind we are American of Cuban descent, so the vocals naturally don't have an English accent.

The beginning of the song was recorded extended so that it could be blended with the previous track....
