about

Shortly before heading off to San Francisco to make Standards I was approached by Polyvinyl about taking part in a wild 7" project in which a 4-track recorder was mailed around the country from artist to artist.

What is absolutely insane is that I remember very distinctly receiving this from Matt Pryor -- And what's even crazier -- Mailing this to John Vanderslice. Who knew a year later we would be re-recording one of these songs together.

Josh and I took this opportunity to get weird and wrote the a louder song we had always dreamed of writing with each other. In contrast to that, I squeezed out Old Lace in an evening. I never thought much of the song at the time.

I called up my buddy Brian Deck about seeing if he wanted to get together and work on something weird. Using a mixer we wound up being able to multi track nearly everything on this 7". While the idea may have been 4-Tracks, Arsenic had a full mic drum set up. We ran 8 tracks into a single channel of the 4 track. Then bounced down all of the guitars leaving space for vocals.

We ran those through a few pedals. Namely the EHX Freeze.

Later, while we were recording Standards, about halfway through the session we raised the idea of re-recording Old Lace. On a lark I tracked the guitars and immediately it became apparent that it was a must have on the record.

It's funny how songs work out like that sometimes. I have this project to thank for that.
