Episode notes
Experimenting with Demo Styles
- Spoon creatively experiments by imagining how different artists would approach a demo.
- This process makes the song uniquely Spoon, not a copy of others like Iggy Pop or Elvis Costello.
Importance of Tempo and Groove
- Transitioning to a beat-oriented style helped the song better fit the album's vibe.
- Slower tempos paired with simple melodic hooks created the ideal groove for the track.
Using Sample Kits for Drums
- Jim built a sample kit of snare and kick drum sounds to replace his live drumming.
- Co-producer Dave Fridmann mixed some of Jim's and his own samples to create the final drum sound.
