MORDECAI - "What Is Art" 7"
Mordecai - What Is Art 7" EP (Sophomore Lounge, 2016) "The songs on this 7" are from two different sessions.The songs "What is Art" and "Seeing In" were recorded around the summer of 2015. We had just returned to Montana from our first tour of the East. We had asked our friend Clark to record us in this pretty nice old studio space. He had a working reel to reel and a mixer with far too many channels and cords and such. This was the first time as a band that we were recorded by someone else on different equipment than a tascam 4 track and some damaged microphones. We set up our small practice amps and three piece drum set and proceeded in a pretty haphazard manner to spend about two weeks recording what turned into 8 or 9 songs. The bulk of these songs appear on the recently released Abstract Recipe record on Richie. These songs have the "classic" mordecai line-up Eli on Bass, Gavin on traps and myself on guitar and vocals playing live in the studio.The songs "Spite" and "What is Over"
