NP: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE SONG ON THE ALBUM?
SC: right now i'd have to say the clapping song. tonight is sounding good, too. and don't forget hamlet, surely the dark horse of this album. when we get past all the problems with it, it'll be amazing. ultimately, they will all be my favorite songs.
NP: WHICH SONGS ARE YOU MOST WORRIED ABOUT?
SC: hamlet and crowds need work on the arrangement. and the songs we haven't started: spanish song, alpha/omega and mean song.
NP: HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PERFORM THIS ALBUM LIVE?
SC: i think we'd look for about 5 musicians on craigslist to do the extra harmonies and keyboard/guitar parts. these songs are too good to be compromised on stage. listen to the beach boys doing good vibrations live and you'll see what i mean. also, i don't think we'll be performing until the record has made us somewhat famous, anyway.
NP: WHAT'S THE PRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY ON THIS ALBUM?
SC: it can't ever be boring. it can't sound sparse or sound like it's missing something. but anything we put in there must be clean and melodic. lots of vocal harmonies, oohs and ahhs, all over the place. and anything else that bothers us, even a little bit, we'll fix before we release it. the more we re-record something, the more time we spend on the recording, the better.
