agreed

so wrong on every conceivable level

@@mnchls Eh I can hear it. I don't think that's what they listened to but it makes sense.

Yuk

WWWOOOOOOOOOOOO every once in a while

I always thought it stood for Empire 😅

I think empowered, but is a guess

@@yared8771 it is empowered. i have the promo CD and it's listed thusly.

Empowered…or Empty… it’s kind of a genius song title.

@wolfgang6424 nah man he was saying imagine if gibson and hill teamed up

I think Brian did play with Boredoms' drum circle thingy before this maybe?

Gibson also plays really good drums, not just chip. Gibson played drums in a few bands, wizzardzz and another one thats more metal i believe

Imagine a band made up of Carson McWhirther, Spencer Siem, Brian Gibson, Brian Chippendale, Nick Reinhardt, and Zach Hill.

Eric Sandoval yep it is best lol

You ever find out? I’ve been hunting for it for a while lol

Like the piano patch? Around this time Ian was transitioning from using Native Instruments Kontakt to Ableton Live. Kontakt is a sampler that has virtual instruments like a Rhodes piano or a Marimba, he would layer it with effects like saturation/distortion and he used it extensively throughout the EPs and Mirrored. To answer your question, it kinda sounds like a Kontakt patch, maybe a Marimba or a Vibraphone with some effects here and there. And taking the date into consideration, Ian was probably still relying heavily on NI Kontakt. A little bit before Tyondai left he started experimenting with Ableton and apparently, during the recording process of Gloss Drop, he'd create his own patches/Instruments using the (very complete) Ableton sampler, mostly resampling his and Dave's guitars, and ofc these samples were heavily layered with effects, which is how he got that distorted organ sound heard on tracks like Sweetie & Shag, or the weird "strings" on Inchworm. So that's also a possibility. I know this because the band talked about it years ago. Basically Dave's rig was hooked up to Ian's laptop (not sure if this was the case live since it would be impossible) and that was probably a big part of their workflow in the studio.

hehhe hella

“headless” 🎸🥁🎶

Everyone is playing a different part, that's why his looks so much different (cos it is)

@Purity Content watched every live version of this song performed by the band and I'm 100% positive Albini can't sing to save his life. I know this song should be satirical but he's always so off key and rhythm it's painfull. This song is just strumming 4 chords(+1) and he can't do it.

Natural talent.
