We wanted something dark and brooding but I also wanted to put some structure into it to carry it with some weight. Working on this took me to the dark places. I started going out at night and waking up really tired. With mud at the foot of my bed. I dunno, I think it's just a phase. If I had it all to do over again, maybe I wouldn't double Geoff's vox. I love that sound and King Colon usually talks me out of it, rightly so but he wasn't around a lot this time to keep me from getting out there with it. There was something I loved in that guitar tone I landed on and I needed to bathe in it for awhile after all the falderal at the motel hence the extended coda.
