Last summer we had Le Couteau in for a two-day lockout session in Studio A. At first the goal was just to capture their sound and release it as close to live as possible. But after hearing everything, the band decided to take their time with the process and we are glad they did. Save for a few hours of guitar overdubs in Studio B, the band tracked their whole record in those first two days. Driven primarily by frontman/guitarist, Jean-Francois Blain, the band blends their various influences to make something familiar to shoegaze fans but unique to each of the players in the band. Phil Murphy sang backup and played bass. And Faris Abayya played drums. Q Engineer, Terrance Reeves, co-produced and recorded. And all the tracks were mixed by local friend, Dereck Blackburn (of Quiethouse Recordings).
