For your first three albums, you guys recorded in some really unusual spots — grain silos, bathrooms, basements. What was that like?
Yeah, well, a lot of that was really out of necessity. Where the first three records were done was in an apartment above a three-car garage on a farm in Kentucky, basically. And it was either put the drums in the corner of one of the rooms and they'd sound kind of dry and weird or we could do it in the basement or in the garage, where we'd pull all the cars out. All that stuff — Jim doing vocals in the bathroom to get that reverb sound, recording in the grain silo, that was all about doing what we had to do because we had sort of limited options. Whatever it took — our approach was "let's try this out and see what happens."
