Something To Think About

Man is re-micing fun. All the guitars we recorded in Australia we took the dry, non-plug-in effected versions and rented a shitload of vintage amps from the 60’s and ran the dry signal into them and “mic-ed” them “again” (hence the name re-micing) and treated all the guitars and bass through all these classic amps. I am freaking the fuck out how dope they sound.
