Spoon - “Small Stakes“ (Official Music Video)

Stream and purchase the new reissue of ’Kill The Moonlight’ and other Slay On Cue titles here: As we were recording Kill The Moonlight, Peter Simonite and Julie King would come by with Peter’s super 8 camera, put it on a tripod, set it to a super slow speed, and just let it go. They’d come back an hour later, move the tripod, put in a new reel, and they’d be gone again. Pretty good document of how we made that album: Public Hi-Fi studio was at that point an ex-garage that Jim had carpeted and moved some gear into. We were all in one room, the drums, the console, the amps, the vocals. Jim did have a piano in his house across the yard, so occasionally when his wife was at work we’d take some very long cables and stretch them out to his house and somehow it worked that I could play piano and it’d end up on the 16 track machine back in the studio -- as long as it wasn’t broken, and as I remember it we had 4 weeks to make this album and during 2 of them the tape deck was down. You get to see a lot here -- that’s Mike McCarthy air drumming to show Jim a part he had in mind, Roman Kuebler doing a bass take, me recording myself doing a keyboard part before Mike and Jim got there one day, and Jim practicing his perfect posture as he put down some drums. - Britt Visit and for further details.
