The Lawrence Arms EP Details 2009-06-22 by Satellite | 8 Comments | Chicago punk trio the Lawrence Arms have finished recording a new 5-song EP. It was recorded at Atlas Studios by Matt Allison. The Lawrence Arms frontman/former The Daily Show With Jon Stewart interviewee Brendan Kelly described in great detail the recording process on his blog.
Kelly wrote: "Our last record, which was called Oh! Calcutta! was recorded at a time when we'd been on the road for just years and years nonstop, and as such, all these calluses had formed all over my vocal chords which is what leads to that 'impenetrable wall of rasp' sound that is my voice on that record. Now, I've been off the road for so long that my voice is sweet and tender like a six year old boy’s powdered sack, and as a result my voice sounds way more like it used to on our older recordings, like the Cocktails and Dreams stuff. Not a huge difference, but one that makes a big difference to me in terms of approaching vocals.
"Look, the results were ultimately good, then Chris sang, and killed as per usual. By the time he was done it was about 1:30 and we hadn’t done backing vocals or lead guitars. We decided to break the 'get the shit done in two days' rule and head back in the next day (Saturday) to finish up. Saturday rolls around and I got there before Chris, so I did all my lead guitar playing and a little tiny bit of vocal doubling. Chris then arrived and cranked out the craziest, sickest most downright hilariously awesome lead guitar work that any of our records have ever seen. Think Bad Religion's 'No Control' as a point of reference. Seriously. It's so great. Then I did my backing vocals and then Chris did his."
The Lawrence Arms most recently released Oh! Calcutta! in 2006.

Band is awesome, exited to see them back. Will be getting this, can't wait for a new album.
Oh Calcutta is godly.

Yeah, O!C! is probably my favorite album ever. I've been waiting so long to hear some new material from them. This will undoubtedly be amazing.
| | |
Yesssss. Oh Calcutta is amazing so I expect this to rule.
| | |
fuck yeah. but I've gotta say, when it comes to TLA, Apathy and Exhaustion is where it's at.

Oh Calcutta was good but I really enjoyed whatever had Navigating The Windward Passage (I think that's what it was anyways.) Good band.

This will be orgasmatastic.
