We recorded this beast last September with our wonderfully talented amigo, Justin Smith at Pink Duck Studios in L.A., and with the magnificent Beau Sorenson right here in our very own basement. Tracking took a total of two weeks and then Beau took that bitch back with him to Portland for mixing. We took the beginning of this year to add some more bells and whistles...interludes, a few more home recordings engineered by yours truly...all while drinking mass amounts of Tequila and partying with none other than my main man, Darth Vapor. The end result...pure fuckin madness...hence the name, Madness in Miniature. "What an odd title..." you might be saying. Well, here's an excerpt from a Time Magazine article published in the mid-60s about doctors taking LSD to identify with their schizophrenic patients:
"One of the first theories about LSD was that it was a psychotomimetic—a mimicker of psychoses. The idea offered hope of finding a chemical cure for schizophrenia, as well as of increasing the psychiatrist's empathy with a schizophrenic by giving himself 'madness in miniature' and thereby knowing what his patient was going through."
So there you have it. Here we are disappointing our mothers once again...Sorry Momsie Womsie. Hope you still love us. Would a free download of the first single, "Bit of Tongue" help you love me again?
