Play Kush part, Fred.

Mott was here today, starting the electric guitar recording.  He is the purest and most unadulterated source of rage in the Argyles, and I wasn't sure how it would translate into the studio, but we got a good half-dozen songs completed, and more started, if not nailed down.  Most of his parts are at least semi-improvised, and even takes of the same material are highly dissimilar.  Which is to say, creative, but unpredictable.  A couple of riffs we ended up keeping today, including one for Cigarette 2-Step, were entirely new, and the songs we have left to record are even more uncertain.  It'll be interesting to see what he comes up with.
He's playing my Mexican Strat (with a Dimarzio X2N in the bridge position), through the Zoom G2.1u pedal, straight into the Audio Interface.  He's also using our friend Alberto's cable, which we took and haven't given back for months.  Thanks Alberto!

  1. Thank God for Toe. Matt's got just the right amount of intuition and rage to emulsify these tracks into a worthwhile mix.
