Recording At Electric Lady

Lyrics

I think, it's just, you know, we've recorded, you know, the better half of the last three records
 And so, it's, you know, it's a great studio for one
 The room that we're in right now
 Is actually the room where we recorded most of the material of the last three records
 When we've been at Electric Lady, the staff is awesome
 They've always had great engineers, the managers are like a friend of ours
 And always tries to get us in here and makes things easy for us
 And so, I feel like New York City is very easy to wanna go work, to go in the studio
 But then there can always be so, you know, so many distractions about you
 It's, it's truly a treasure
 We can go to a place and leave the city at the door and just get down to it
 And have the comfort just to acclimate very quickly and fall into the music
 And this room in particular is a great sounding room
 And I, you know, I feel like at the four-frag when we came here
 To record that, we were talking about having a really nice, sizable room for drum purposes
 Then also, we had eight different amps that we had just sectioned off
 So we'd kind of bleed each, all those amps together or blend, I should say, all those amps together
 To kind of make a unique sound for each song, whatever was needed per song
 On this record, we actually only really recorded all of the drums
 And I think like 95% of the bass, right, Paul? Pretty much all the bass
 Everything else was recorded at Novor Studio in Red Hope Brooklyn, but
 (Atomic sound studios)
 Sammy, you really enjoyed obviously laying it down here
 Oh, yeah
 Well, when we were doing Our Love to Admire, we started at another spot in Soho
 And then I got a phone call from Rich Coste, who co-produced the record and said
 Do you want to come and retract some of the drums at Electric Lady?
 And I was like, why would I want to do that?
 And so I got to come in and kind of overdub these drum parts
 Over guitar parts that were already tracked, you know, for posterity
 And from that point on, it was just, you know, I fell in love with it
 And just, you know, things that were done in this room over the year
 That black piano that black piano that black grand piano used to be a white grand piano
 Where Topperhead and wrote Rock the Casbah
 And tracked it and played bass
 (And I think it was Hendrix's piano if I remember correctly too)
 I believe so, yeah and just like little things like that, that really
 You know, do mean something you feel like a kid like it, it's better than it's like adult Disney
 There's also like a little am I wrong, they're not like a little stream?
 Like literally right here and they can lift it up like one of the wood panels
 And you can kind of see it
 I'm pretty sure there is, I don't know if anyone
 Yep you see that we got the thumbs up confirmation
 I feel like I've seen it was it would have been like on our left admirers
 So like that's like 20 years ago for me
 But like I felt like that was like I heard the tale and I feel like they showed it to me
