We said we’d give away a free download every week in 2010, and we are honoring our resolution. This week, it’s a cut called “Your Majesty” from our second LP, Topless at the Arco Arena.
This one indulges one of our favorite studio games: going ape-shit at the end. I can’t even remember what all is in there, but I know there’s a flugelhorn, and that’s Daphne Carr bowing the cello, and I’m pretty sure both Jay and I are playing a bunch of different guitars.
Moments like that lead to a recurring conversation between us and Johannes, our engineer and co-producer, that always goes like this:
Johannes: “There’s too much going on.”
Tim and Jay (in unison): “That’s the point.”
