cool stuff MGMT rules shoutout to the self titled
This was a fascinating listen! Love these guys, I really appreciate how you went into detail about the recording process from a tech standpoint. I laughed when Ben mentioned how they got the placebo effect while mixing, I do the same thing sometimes. I’ll hear small tweaks happening to a mix, then I’ll realize I’m not even adjusting the right track lol. Thanks for the great interview
As a huge fan of these guys this was one of the best interviews I’ve ever heard from them. Super cool to hear more in depth about the recording and creative process. I really appreciate an interviewer who is willing to just let the artist talk through things and doesn’t try to interrupt and interject all the time. Well done!
Love Ben and Andrew, this was a cool interview. Andrew if you see this, come to California. We can drive down to the beach and share music. I feel like we have the same taste in music
Great chat, good to hear these legends also doing dumb shit like not muting track duplicates or A/B’ing the same mix. In the midst of tracking an album at the moment and very much in my head about it “sounding live” or playable and like not changing guitar tones/recordings mid song but these guys just don’t give a shit and maybe I shouldn’t either
7th album? I thought Loss of Life was their 5th album.

If you include late night tales and 11.11.11 it’s technically their 7th
Larry you need more coffee you sound so down and monotone lol. I love a lot of your recordings not hating. Cool interview though. The vocal on People In The Streets sounds amazing! It somehow sounds like its floating above you a little bit to the left on headphones. I would have loved to maybe hear Dave talk about how he tracked and mixed that.
