It's pretty much a representation of the direction we're going in. This is our first studio experience where we can overdub and correct things. But we're definitely not a studio band. |
The breadth of Zappa's catalog was unbelievable. He just thought out of the box. His music was different from what everyone else was doing in his day. |
We had just played a sold-out show and it had been a fun night when we heard the news. It brought everything back to reality. He was a brilliant guy. He was an aerospace engineer and an entrepreneur. We were just starting to write new songs two weeks after he died. We were still grieving. So that was naturally a big subject matter for the album. |
We try to make the music very dense. There are six people pulling in a lot of directions, so you're gonna get a lot of energy. |
We're not a studio band, so this isn't our best. We still have more to say. |
