Look out! It’s the Crystal Antlers’ long awaited return to the Compound since mixing their acclaimed EP. We spent the initial first six days tracking 13 songs and tackling a lion’s share of the overdubs (solos, organ, pianos, vocals, etc…). We recorded half the songs in two seperate configurations. One in a seperated recording setup and another simulating the band’s rehearsal setup with amps and everyone standing right next to each other. This allows for different feels and tonal options for each song.
