Hi,
I loved the song, great band, very good musicians with an incredible groove!
Reminded me a lot of "heavy blues meets stoner" bands like Radio Moscow, Graveyard etc.
I went absolutely nuts on distortion, it's everywhere basically, but I feel like this was really the vibe of the song and this recording, it's in your face, it's dirty, like the lyrics and middle finger attitude.
I wanted really fat drums so there's heavy compression, distortion and limiter on snare and kick but it felt great as the drummer is awesome. Looking back, I think the drums are a bit too compressed, but I wanted them to sound modern and loud so it's a compromise. I may try a more "live" mix using more of the overheads / room and less compression later.
I wanted a bit of slapback on the voice to give it that garage / rockabilly revival sound, but wanted it to be behind as well (this is a guitar song) but still wide, so used pre-delay on reverb so it's an "explosive" slap back with some overdrive to make it dirty. I love bands like the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion that are ok with pushing the delay and drive on the vocals.
I would love to know what you think!
Thanks a lot!
Quentin
