The idea around the Golden Triangle EP was to record four songs in under nine minutes as an ode to The Replacements & Bob Mould. I wrote the songs over the Friday and Saturday then rest of the band turned up on Sunday at the studio to record them. It was slightly daunting for the boys to listen to the songs for the first time then record everything live on the same day. For all the songs we recorded live to an Ampex AG440b 1/2″ 4-track. Drums and Bass on one input, guitars on two then we over dubbed the lead vocals on the forth. The backing vocals were recorded live during the analog mixing to the Ampex 300 (valve) 1/4″ 2-track track reel to reel as the song is bouncing down. We achieved what we intended to do which was to make a spontaneous loud bendigocentric recording! Big ups to Alex at Sound Recordings for capturing it all for us. - Shann 27/07/2016.
