Influenced by Friendship’s punk and indie peers as much as road-star\nforebears like Lucinda Williams and Lambchop, Wriggins says of the recording sessions: “We all got\nto stretch out, chase our personal musical fixations, and build on each others’ work. Bradford\nKrieger, our engineer at Big Nice Studio, has a mind-blowing creative energy and hundreds\n(thousands?) of instruments.” He recalls further: “I wanted the album to sound like Emmylou Harris\nand the Hot Band in the ’70s. Pete wanted it to sound like a semi full of spent fuel rods, barreling\ntowards a runaway truck ramp. Jon kept reminding us that the studio is an instrument, and Michael\nwanted it to sound like the breakdown two-and-a-half minutes into Shuggie Otis’ ‘Strawberry Letter\n23.’”","genre":["alt country"]}]}
