Speaker 1: Hey, I'm Auntie and I'm Brian and we'reh spirals. So
Speaker 1: welcome to our first episode of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Know we made that piggy promise that we were going
Speaker 1: to do an episode a month, but I mean you
Speaker 1: pointed out that probably wasn't gonna happen.
Speaker 2: Hey, it's early March. We're pretty damn close.
Speaker 1: I know today is mark second.
Speaker 2: As we're making it, as we're.
Speaker 1: Recording, so but we do have news, and I think
Speaker 1: that's what we were waiting for before we made this episode,
Speaker 1: like solid news.
Speaker 2: To do the thing and then make the.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it. Yeah, yeah, I think we might
Speaker 1: have alluded to the thing on our last episode of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. But anyways, the thing is, we have
Speaker 1: a new single out on digital services. It's actually a
Speaker 1: new version of a slightly older song.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Twenty twenty two, I believe is when we Call
Speaker 2: came out, and yeah, it was a song that was
Speaker 2: I felt like we didn't hit the mark of what
Speaker 2: I had in mind or we had in mind. It happens, yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, and since twenty twenty two have gotten better. Yeah,
Speaker 2: even though we're older, still learning new things. And yeah,
Speaker 2: I was able to finally finish the song correctly and
Speaker 2: give it. There's just a lot of dumb little problems
Speaker 2: that we've just been naggedy all these years. So we've
Speaker 2: addressed the problems and made the song even better.
Speaker 1: I know, at a certain point in the process, I'm like,
Speaker 1: why are we doing this? Is anyone even gonna notice
Speaker 1: or care? But the thing is we notice, yeah, and
Speaker 1: we care. So then we were like stuck with what
Speaker 1: do we call this new version of the call? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so we're first I was just calling it like twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five mix or whatever, but that seems kind of weak. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I came upon this. I came upon this term
Speaker 1: VIP mix, which means variance in production, and it's generally
Speaker 1: used by producers that make a different mix of their
Speaker 1: own song a lot of times as part of like
Speaker 1: their DJ career.
Speaker 2: Drum and bass or type guys.
Speaker 1: You know, even though this isn't a drum and bassed song,
Speaker 1: I think we.
Speaker 2: Can use the kind of mindset but very even though
Speaker 2: our music doesn't sound very idiom, but you use a
Speaker 2: lot of electronic music production techniques.
Speaker 1: And are oh yeah, I think people would be surprised
Speaker 1: by some of the techniques that were used to to
Speaker 1: change some of the things about this song. But yeah,
Speaker 1: what do you think is the major difference in the
Speaker 1: VIP mix of the call?
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, even without knowing the technical things,
Speaker 2: I think it's just a better mix. It's a better
Speaker 2: listening experience, Like guitars are produced better, the vocals sitting
Speaker 2: in the mix, right, it just yeah, just mixes are
Speaker 2: all better. But the old mix is really sloppy too.
Speaker 2: There's lots of like timing errors with the bass guitar
Speaker 2: and a few other things like that that are completely
Speaker 2: fixed now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think when you listen to them back to back,
Speaker 1: it's just like the twenty twenty five mix. To me,
Speaker 1: it's more lush, yeah, more immersive, Like the guitars are
Speaker 1: like and bolder, and the vocals are like way more
Speaker 1: like ah, you know that I had. I You know,
Speaker 1: sometimes when I'm laying down my tracks, I end up
Speaker 1: with so many layers that we just go we just
Speaker 1: strip it back, let's just stick with like this main
Speaker 1: vocal and like a little bit of something. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: this time I went in, I went crazy. I'm like,
Speaker 1: let's get all those vocals I recorded in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: two and just go to town, like let's figure out the
Speaker 1: place for all of them. So yeah, it was kind
Speaker 1: of like it's just like a redo for me.
Speaker 2: A song I was kind of about now something I'm
Speaker 2: really proud of, you know. And that's how you should
Speaker 2: be about all your songs. You should be really proud
Speaker 2: of them, not have like regrets and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: I know I have so many when I look back
Speaker 1: over our twenty year history has so many hearts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if I could go back and remix every single album,
Speaker 1: my freaking woye. That's the curs getting better, I guess
Speaker 1: I know, because I mean obviously part of what's going
Speaker 1: on with this new mixes, new equipment. Yeah, like you know,
Speaker 1: the kinds of stuff that you did with your guitar,
Speaker 1: like maybe you don't have those effects back then, and.
Speaker 2: Stuff we did with your vocals too.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, absolutely, Yeah, we've got cooler stuff now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're able to like hit the intention we had.
Speaker 2: We just didn't have the gear and the skills yet,
Speaker 2: even at our with all our experience to be able
Speaker 2: to give what we had in mind. I didn't realize
Speaker 2: what a complicated just project. This song was. Yeah, it's cool.
Speaker 2: I'm glad I love it now because it's like cool
Speaker 2: when I listened to it's like it really it's so nineties.
Speaker 2: It's like a lot of the stuff I was into
Speaker 2: back when, like low Spirals downwards begad. They like the
Speaker 2: one guitar panned on the riots, I'm just ding. It
Speaker 2: sounds like like it crossed between like something like Robert
Speaker 2: Smith or the Cure we do with something like that's
Speaker 2: more like a shoegazer kind of thing, and then another
Speaker 2: guitar pan left is like this overdriven just walls with
Speaker 2: a lot of load of modulation or little Shoegazer.
Speaker 1: It sounds you've ever gotten to be honest. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love the way it starts now too, has interesting.
Speaker 2: Too yeah, and has a new the more ending even
Speaker 2: like even more refined now to like how the endian
Speaker 2: always kind of switches back to like maybe like the
Speaker 2: first Fleetwood Mac album with Lindsay and Stevie. So it
Speaker 2: just kind of cuts a lot of stuff Shoegazer, Fleetwood Mac,
Speaker 2: and it's just it's just us. It's just it's just
Speaker 2: all those things that we love.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have no idea what anyone would quantify my
Speaker 1: vocal genre as. But it's definitely a combination of like
Speaker 1: every genre that I've existed in over these all these
Speaker 1: years that we're making music. Yeah, So I was last night,
Speaker 1: we were talking about this song, and I was like,
Speaker 1: how did we get started on this new remix project?
Speaker 2: Actually, because I have another remix or two that I've
Speaker 2: been working on I started before this one.
Speaker 1: And then you did mention the last podcast I checked.
Speaker 2: I check, I'm not gonna mentioned any songs yet. But
Speaker 2: then you're the one that threw idea at me about
Speaker 2: the call and right you said that. I pondered it
Speaker 2: and like, yeah, that one really I think now we
Speaker 2: could really, like I said, do it justice. Yeah, And
Speaker 2: I was up for the challenge too, see if I
Speaker 2: was right.
Speaker 1: Now, are we gonna put on another album? Has been
Speaker 1: this looming question, like, well we make a longer form
Speaker 1: collection of songs. And so I was sitting there listening
Speaker 1: to our last singles and like, you know, we've been
Speaker 1: really kind of conscious of having the last three songs.
Speaker 1: You know, they sound good together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Newman on not Myself and used.
Speaker 1: To be Yeah, even though they're all kind of different genres,
Speaker 1: but there's something about the production and everything were all together.
Speaker 2: Same with the Call now now, but.
Speaker 1: Before I was like, I was like, well, obviously I
Speaker 1: want to put the Call on album, and then you
Speaker 1: listen to it, I was like, it's kind of doesn't
Speaker 1: sound drags them down.
Speaker 2: But now, even though it's a different genre, like the
Speaker 2: other three songs are sonically somehow kind of all fits together.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and actually talking about those, you know, the last
Speaker 1: three songs, even when you go back to like our
Speaker 1: cover Misunderstood looks if if it is, as does the
Speaker 1: remix we did of it ain't Love.
Speaker 2: The Saint love Electronica. I just wondered I should ask
Speaker 2: him if I could do a VIP remix for us.
Speaker 2: I think that would be No Times past. He might
Speaker 2: be cool with that because that would fit in because
Speaker 2: I've said it before, maybe on this podcast. I know
Speaker 2: I've told Angree, I feel like that remix we did
Speaker 2: for Allen Electronico for Project Records. He did a he
Speaker 2: had an album and then he'd had other artists coming
Speaker 2: remix songs from the album, and I feel like that
Speaker 2: that remix somehow, I've been on this role ever since.
Speaker 2: I kind of like a lot of things that's kind
Speaker 2: of clicked and yeah, so I actually I think it'd
Speaker 2: probably make that remix even better now too, I know who.
Speaker 2: I was super proud of it then I still am.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, what was that like twenty three?
Speaker 2: It was around twenty two too. We'll check it out.
Speaker 2: But I think back to the original point is yes,
Speaker 2: are we going to make an album? Yes? And no no,
Speaker 2: and like yeah, not like were you wait like three
Speaker 2: to five years and all of a sudden, nine or
Speaker 2: ten songs come out of the blue and like whoa
Speaker 2: new song?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: But yeah, yes in the sense, yeah, we're compiling enough
Speaker 2: songs together to put out either a long EP or
Speaker 2: an album, because I think that's a whole go instead
Speaker 2: of letting all these songs exist solely as singles on
Speaker 2: the streaming music services. At some point you said a
Speaker 2: lot of artists do this. I didn't invent anything. They'll
Speaker 2: put out, Oh, here's an album right now or an
Speaker 2: EP of all the songs that you've been listening to
Speaker 2: for the best.
Speaker 1: Bit, I'm abe it'll be like one or two that
Speaker 1: they hadn't heard yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly to make it, yeah, and make it cool
Speaker 2: for them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, will we print it to CDs?
Speaker 2: Probably not, but lest you guys really want it, let
Speaker 2: us know in the comments.
Speaker 1: I know, I really we've never the only time I've
Speaker 1: ever done like a fundraiser thing was when I was
Speaker 1: when I did the Love Me, Leave Me album under
Speaker 1: the Anti BM. Yeah, I was back when I had
Speaker 1: like a super dedicated music podcast and I was like
Speaker 1: talking to people. Yeah. Time. I just we've really not
Speaker 1: wanted to do a fundraising thing for any Yeah.
Speaker 2: This weird for us. I guess I just need to
Speaker 2: get over it.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I don't know, you're not good asking for money.
Speaker 2: I think the bigger issue is, like right now, in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, you know, CDs aren't really that important.
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about this last last episode. I said,
Speaker 1: I think like CDs are dead, and you're like, actually,
Speaker 1: I heard CDs are having research having resurgeons compared to
Speaker 1: where they were five years ago, which ain't saying much.
Speaker 2: I mean, everything's just you know, so so much on
Speaker 2: digital streaming or downloaded off our band camp if you
Speaker 2: want to own it and put on your iPod or
Speaker 2: something like that.
Speaker 1: Okay, So the new song, as you know, it's out.
Speaker 1: It came out Friday, the twenty.
Speaker 2: Eighth of yards.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we put it up on band Camp on
Speaker 1: both Love Sparals and Love Sparls Downwards, but then on
Speaker 1: Spotify and all that stuff. When we told you about
Speaker 1: how our distributor has been, so on all of those services,
Speaker 1: it's under Love Sparles Downwards.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's too hard to have it on two fees,
Speaker 2: I know. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I was looking at Spotify obviously before the show, Yeah,
Speaker 1: before I sat down. I want to see how it
Speaker 1: was doing, you know, it just it's only been the
Speaker 1: weekend that it's been. Yeah, so you know it's had
Speaker 1: like I don't know, three thousand.
Speaker 2: Streams we're get paid because Spotify and changed the rules
Speaker 2: last to screw smaller artists, Like you.
Speaker 1: Don't get thousands streams, you don't get Jack.
Speaker 2: Does that suck? Like you can keep making music all year,
Speaker 2: like a song every month and they've hit nine hundred nights,
Speaker 2: go over a thousand, you get zero of Spotify, not pay.
Speaker 1: So we're definitely gonna get our little pennies for our streams.
Speaker 2: So you know, shoo, that's really But then I.
Speaker 1: Was I found myself looking at like demographics and stuff.
Speaker 1: It's so weird because you know, your whole life, you
Speaker 1: didn't really know who the heck was listening music or
Speaker 1: you know that's going on.
Speaker 2: Back in the Project days, I knew was Project fans
Speaker 2: because I talked to them and met them and they
Speaker 2: wrote us letters.
Speaker 1: Speak of the Devil. So now I can look at
Speaker 1: like the demographics of the listeners. Yeah, and it turns
Speaker 1: out that only six percent of the listeners of all
Speaker 1: the Love Sparls Downwards material, not just this time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: only six percent of them. We're in your age range.
Speaker 2: Age range meaning.
Speaker 1: Fifty five to sixty four. Uh huh, which those are
Speaker 1: the Project Yeah, yeah, listeners.
Speaker 2: It's on spot go a little bit lower than that.
Speaker 2: I would say all gen X, you know basically, Yeah,
Speaker 2: gen X goes I think starts around maybe people around
Speaker 2: maybe forty nine.
Speaker 1: Or fifty right now, So let me see what So
Speaker 1: the Spotify demographics for the Love Sparls dowards account. Yeah,
Speaker 1: five percent of listeners are fifty five to sixty four,
Speaker 1: compared to thirty nine percent are in the eighteen to
Speaker 1: twenty four range and thirty eight percent in the twenty
Speaker 1: five to thirty four year old range. So these are
Speaker 1: people that are well outside of your yeah, original Project
Speaker 1: Records listening.
Speaker 2: Did we mention this last time? Basically is our music's
Speaker 2: finding a whole new generation. You hear about that. I
Speaker 2: watch like you watch like v H one. Behind the music,
Speaker 2: they'll talk to like the Beach Boys or something like,
Speaker 2: we have a whole new generation listen to us. You know,
Speaker 2: it's not just people from the sixties and stuff. And
Speaker 2: that's we're old enough now to be able to say
Speaker 2: that we have people who weren't even born yet. You know,
Speaker 2: when I put out all those nineties albums on Project Records,
Speaker 2: that's cool to have people that don't have those preconceived
Speaker 2: notions of what was going on back then. They're just
Speaker 2: hearing it anew you know, just that's totally cool.
Speaker 1: I actually, yeah, I actually saw Sam, the owner of
Speaker 1: Project Records, say the same thing that, yeah, it's all
Speaker 1: these new kids are discovering Project and they they were
Speaker 1: not around the Project fest.
Speaker 2: Yeah squat.
Speaker 1: So I found that kind of interesting. So that that
Speaker 1: makes me worry less about the like band name, because
Speaker 1: I don't think the band name means anything to the
Speaker 1: people on Spotify except for the six percent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean, yeah, we can talk good. I'll
Speaker 2: feel softful about that, but yeah, it's still me doing
Speaker 2: my thing.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I know you doing your music continually since
Speaker 1: the late eighties.
Speaker 2: I always been the songwriter, the producer, I know, the musician.
Speaker 1: I know. I was like, oh, at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, isn't Ryan Love sprouls downwards?
Speaker 2: Yeah we can.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how Sam is.
Speaker 2: Different singers, way more singers, singers, and.
Speaker 1: So many musicians, and yet he always remains yeah or
Speaker 1: black tape, like you always ran downwards or loves Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's the same kind of thing you guys with your
Speaker 1: lying ass project name.
Speaker 2: We're the same thing in that regard.
Speaker 1: To speaking of old project artists. Soul Rolling Somewhere, I still.
Speaker 2: Need to listen to that.
Speaker 1: I haven't listened to it either, But so, soul Rolling
Speaker 1: Somewhere is a guy named Michael Plaster. Yeah, I've even
Speaker 1: gotten to meet him and play with him when he
Speaker 1: was working in a band called Mister Mabel. But so
Speaker 1: he just released a brand new thing and he's not
Speaker 1: using the Soul Rolling Somewhere name or using Michael Plaster.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder why. I'm Yeah, I mean, there's some
Speaker 2: brand awareness there. But then, like we said, everyone's new
Speaker 2: now listening to the music. But artistic decisions are artistic decisions.
Speaker 2: I thought it was a legal one. No, I doubt
Speaker 2: it was.
Speaker 1: He was Also, they literally just released the Soul Rolling
Speaker 1: Somewhere live set from Project Fast nineteen ninety six. Okay,
Speaker 1: cant Yeah, So we.
Speaker 2: Want to chat Michael around contact.
Speaker 1: Oh I know, I still love his remixes that he
Speaker 1: did for us back in the day.
Speaker 2: Oh ye, Actually, might hear a remix he did of
Speaker 2: one of our songs because I've been it's on the
Speaker 2: back burner but remastering long way from Home and he
Speaker 2: did this truth remix. It's really cool, kind of orchestral
Speaker 2: and dream poppy. So anyway, yeah, I asked him. I
Speaker 2: wrote him last year when I asked him if it
Speaker 2: was cool if I use it. He was totally cool
Speaker 2: with it. It was just a quick little conversation. We didn't
Speaker 2: really get to catch up or anything.
Speaker 1: He did too remixes for us. I'm trying to remember
Speaker 1: what the other one is. Was it Motherless Child?
Speaker 2: It'll come to us walk Away, It'll come to us
Speaker 2: when we spit stop on the recording. The I know,
Speaker 2: I know I could look, you can insert it right now,
Speaker 2: and so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of funny you mentioned artistic decisions. I
Speaker 1: actually have a reader email.
Speaker 2: All right, cool, it's.
Speaker 1: A reader comment. I think last last episode we were
Speaker 1: saying like, oh, I remember the olden days when we
Speaker 1: used to get like comments on our website and.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, yeah, I can't believe we see it and
Speaker 2: we're stoked.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, wow, this must be the first
Speaker 1: comment on.
Speaker 2: Our website, spirals dot com.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'll read it.
Speaker 2: All right, please do let's see.
Speaker 1: So this is from Miguel dear friends. One question, why
Speaker 1: does the song Newmanon just end suddenly as if it
Speaker 1: had been cut? I thought the song was fantastic, but
Speaker 1: I think it deserves a.
Speaker 2: Soft ending artistic decision. Yeah, I mean typically, yeah, when
Speaker 2: one of our songs, or when one of my productions ends,
Speaker 2: two ways to end, you once in a while, do
Speaker 2: a fade out, you know. The most common way is
Speaker 2: it'll just kind of stop on a beat and you'll
Speaker 2: hear the instruments and voice kind of decay and echo. Yes,
Speaker 2: it's a really trademark thing. Cows do that all the time. However,
Speaker 2: for Newmanon, one thing I've been doing lately in my
Speaker 2: mix is I have all the basically the instrumental fuel
Speaker 2: everything but the vocals on a separate mixed bus that
Speaker 2: I can control independently from the vocals. And for that song,
Speaker 2: it just was cool just to slam the bus straight
Speaker 2: off and it just for some reason, you and I
Speaker 2: were both like, wow, that really hits. Yeah it does.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's kind of like for me, it's
Speaker 1: kind of like you've got all yours fully immersed right,
Speaker 1: the songs going, there's all this like emotive mood swirling
Speaker 1: around you, and then we just pulled the rug out
Speaker 1: from under you. Yeah, right, he felt that. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: created a visceral response to where he got up, went
Speaker 1: to his computer and looked for our website and left
Speaker 1: that card.
Speaker 2: Yes, and thanks for leaving that because it shows it
Speaker 2: had an effect. Because that definitely had an effect on us,
Speaker 2: and if it had a similar kind of thing for you, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was. That was kind of the intent. That the intent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't love it too, because it's just like
Speaker 1: it's so there's something so devastating about the way that
Speaker 1: song ends.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but right before the.
Speaker 1: Show, I double checked maybe some of you don't know.
Speaker 1: But there's a drum and bass remix of Neumanon as well,
Speaker 1: and I checked the ending of that one.
Speaker 2: It doesn't do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a softy cake like Miguel would probably prefer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you got both choices there, Miguel and everyone
Speaker 2: to listen to. But yeah, the main mix of Neumanon,
Speaker 2: we would that's just like one of our just most
Speaker 2: moody ass. I mean, we make moody music. I've always
Speaker 2: made moody music. That one is just so friggin moody
Speaker 2: and and just chugging with all sorts of emotions. And yeah,
Speaker 2: someone something about the inning just seemed like the perfect
Speaker 2: way to end.
Speaker 1: That song, because I don't think you've ever ended a song. Yeah,
Speaker 1: quite like that.
Speaker 2: That's a surprise.
Speaker 1: Really made an impression on me. And yeah, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: I personally wouldn't have it any other way. It's possible
Speaker 1: on the instrumental Guitar Focus mix that's right now was
Speaker 1: only on band Care.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think I did that there either.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that also got the soft ND.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure. Yeah, just part of the like some
Speaker 2: of the you know, I told we've learned a lot
Speaker 2: over the past, like just even a couple years, you know,
Speaker 2: strangely that this could be a whole other episode just
Speaker 2: you wouldn't hear it too much in the music per se.
Speaker 2: But listen, we've been listening to so much like Korean music.
Speaker 2: You're gonna say, yeah, so there's some just really just
Speaker 2: a production that just blows my mind. Not every K
Speaker 2: pop band, mind you, but you know, it's like just
Speaker 2: like any genre, some bands are gonna suck, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: be awesome, you know, but yeah.
Speaker 1: Some songs, it depends. Our songs are really cool for
Speaker 1: a band.
Speaker 2: Yeah, any Yeah, But I'm saying, we've just heard some
Speaker 2: just amazing production just so much like it's been for me,
Speaker 2: like an overwhelming thing like in the past, like here,
Speaker 2: maybe a good song once every year or two something
Speaker 2: like that, just one song, and I'm trying to milk it.
Speaker 2: I'm hearing new stuff like on the every week or
Speaker 2: at least every month, something that just blows my mind.
Speaker 2: And I'm just we've been just learning a lot from
Speaker 2: just analyzing to learn what the hell they're doing on YouTube.
Speaker 2: For a lot of the bands, they show them in
Speaker 2: the studio recording I love the vocalists how the how
Speaker 2: they how they how they produce. They don't show the production,
Speaker 2: they show the recording, the vocal recording production process, and yeah.
Speaker 1: And then you hear the feedback a lot of times
Speaker 1: from the director.
Speaker 2: That band not necessarily all Koreaman, is it? Not necessarily
Speaker 2: Indian k pop? There's someone who's like relax as a
Speaker 2: producer role. They call them the director. They're literally communicating
Speaker 2: with the vocalists and giving commands and suggestions and you know,
Speaker 2: or encouragement and encouragement.
Speaker 1: I love in the Monstatics ones where yeah, Jew Honey
Speaker 1: is directing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's one of the band members. Encouragement. So yeah,
Speaker 2: that's that's very kind of what's the word instructional or
Speaker 2: informative And you and I watched those together.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just gives you newors to think about.
Speaker 2: Things, just because you know, we know how we record,
Speaker 2: and we know what it's like to record songs and
Speaker 2: the recording with the recording processes, like what you as
Speaker 2: a singer goes through, and it's cool to see other
Speaker 2: people do that and see how they handle all the
Speaker 2: your choices, Yeah, this decision, Yeah, all that stuff we
Speaker 2: just discovered monster X last year.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean that's not true. I've I literally have
Speaker 1: had them on playlist going back to twenty nineteen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just didn't really. I never watched their music videos
Speaker 1: or any of the stuff that we're doing now.
Speaker 2: Check out a song called night View by Monster I don't.
Speaker 1: Know how I missed that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it came out.
Speaker 1: Like I don't know.
Speaker 2: It could be my favorite song that I discovered last year.
Speaker 2: And I think the song is from like twenty twenty one,
Speaker 2: I believe, but I just heard it last year and
Speaker 2: I still listened to it like regularly, at least once
Speaker 2: a week.
Speaker 1: I like the song right after it too. I think
Speaker 1: it's called Carnival.
Speaker 2: And the one that's been blowing my mind lately is
Speaker 2: why does it come to me the way you are?
Speaker 1: The letter are ye?
Speaker 2: Yeah, check you check. Check those two songs out Nightview
Speaker 2: and you are. You can see how talented the music
Speaker 2: producers are, how how how extremely talented that all the
Speaker 2: vocalists rappers are. I'm just jealous. And you hear the
Speaker 2: production on night View, It's like, ah, I know it's
Speaker 2: so good.
Speaker 1: So it's like a deep house kind of song.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a deep. It's really something I would like.
Speaker 1: It's really atmospheric and more atmospheric than like soul.
Speaker 2: Dance your ass off.
Speaker 1: That's how they do a lot of like they do
Speaker 1: a lot of spacey atmospheric things, but there's often a
Speaker 1: hint of soul.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, we relate to them aesthetically a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so checked that if you want to know what we're
Speaker 2: talking about. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of which, we do have a new song
Speaker 1: that we're working on pretty hard. Yeah.
Speaker 2: It kind of reminds us of one of those months
Speaker 2: desks a little bit, a little bit, a little bit
Speaker 2: like you are. But yeah, so yeah, we're just the
Speaker 2: music's pretty far along. We just started recording the vocals
Speaker 2: the we've kind of nailed the chorus, so now we
Speaker 2: go to work on bridge the verse in bridges. So
Speaker 2: we're working on just slow going, but it's coming along.
Speaker 2: So that will probably be our first new song of
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. We might get another remix done before then,
Speaker 2: we'll see how it all works out.
Speaker 1: We did it. We did a heavy vocal session on
Speaker 1: my birthday, yeah, February second, and I think we did
Speaker 1: some mixing and some other stuff.
Speaker 2: On like Valentine's Yeah, producers, we.
Speaker 1: Haven't really touched it since. Yeah, but you've been like
Speaker 1: messing around changing some things in the studio all weeks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, lotsuff got your new headphones to track in. I
Speaker 2: noticed a lot of the K pop bands using these
Speaker 2: Sony headphones that curious about.
Speaker 1: They already have the same like that we already had
Speaker 1: the same.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, a lot of them use Yeah, so yeah,
Speaker 2: I figured, Yeah, I was never satisfied with your your
Speaker 2: headphones that you used to recording. I mean they're really
Speaker 2: well respected, but for me, for for for tracking, they're
Speaker 2: just missing a lot of the the low mids, so
Speaker 2: you kind of it just sounds kind of thin. You
Speaker 2: don't feel like you're fully in the mix. And like, okay,
Speaker 2: if all these K poppers are using the Sony M
Speaker 2: d R seventy five and six, islet give a shot.
Speaker 2: They're not that expensive and you haven't had had a
Speaker 2: chance to check them out yet. But I've been screwing
Speaker 2: around with them, and I think you're gonna love them.
Speaker 1: I just remember we actually we had such an o
Speaker 1: G experience. We drove to guitar.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I felt nineties. It's like, okay, I can order
Speaker 2: them online from somewhere, or you just drive up the
Speaker 2: street and go to Guitar Center and you know, go
Speaker 2: get some Indian food after did.
Speaker 1: Get food afterwards, which is also very nineties.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was inspired the first LSD album. Yeah, Indian food,
Speaker 2: not guitar Center, A little bit of both. Okay, that
Speaker 2: was like my soul. One hundred stores of music gear
Speaker 2: back then, basically, oh so funny, little days of buying
Speaker 2: stuff at Guitar Center West Covida and Guitar Center Hollywood.
Speaker 1: Oh those the ones you went to. I went to
Speaker 1: the Hollywood one with you a couple.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we lived out far from the Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyways, I think that's the bulk of what we have
Speaker 1: to talk about this time. You know, there's always little
Speaker 1: things here and there. I think last time we talked
Speaker 1: to them, I was getting the Temporal album re upped
Speaker 1: so that it had all the correct information.
Speaker 2: And it does now it has.
Speaker 1: Well, now that's over, it's got like a more robust
Speaker 1: like an artwork, YadA, YadA.
