14. The Thin Man

"This record is, it's not more intricate but it's unusual for me in that I'm usually attracted to more fluid timing, more messy fragile fucked up acoustic stuff. This was very strident, all played to a click which is unusual for me because my counts are usually more in the 3/16. But I had to serve the songs and so necessarily the production reflected this strident quality - big and clear. That said, the overdubs had to balance that out, the overdubs are incredibly idiosyncratic, bizarre timings, layered sound approaches that are difficult to recreate live."
