Chris’s mom makes wonderful dinners.
She really does. They were one of the highlights of the sessions for Life Without Consequence - the studio was set up in her house, after all, and every night she made us a lovely home-cooked meal, always hot and fresh. The record took seven days in total - one song per day, plus one for fixes, punches, and general auditory madness. It was an absolute blast to record; it felt more like hanging out with friends than it did actual work. After a failed initial session which involved two low-quality mics and a Technics DAT (Digital Audio Tape) machine from 1994 which ended in the group seriously considering its validity as musicians, we took a moment, collected our gear, and tried again - this time armed with a small digital studio. Chris’s Marshall stack/Gibson Les Paul combo sounded classic and gave me fantastic sounds to work with (as a matter of fact, the majority of the guitar is unaffected and unedited.) The whole thing came together very cohesively, and we had remarkably few problems throughout the process… anyone who’s tried audio recording knows what I’m talking about. Personal favorites - the bridge of Jump This Fence was a blast to play, as was Hands. Denver has a cool folk vibe that I’m fond of. Overall, both me and Chris are proud of it, and we think it’s a good starting place for years of indie fun to come. We hope you agree, and we’d love for you to come on the journey with us.
