![20th anniversary of Modest Mouse’s “Good News…” is now in stock. The record was recorded RIGHT HERE IN OXFORD, and did you know Clay engineered the dang thing!
A true modern classic!!
About the recording:
“Things had to reach a peak of bad news.” Brock told The AV Club in 2004, “Everything had to fall apart in order for us to figure out where we stood. So we decided that instead of recording with someone we knew, we were going to go to the opposite side of the country and record with [a producer] we’d never met before.” The man assigned this uphill task was Dennis Herring, based in his Sweet Tea Recording studio in Oxford, Mississippi. Herring was a well-respected rock polymath who’d previously helmed records by Counting Crows and Throwing Muses. For Isaac Brock, working with Herring required a change of studio mindset, “He’d have me play the same part four hours straight and at about the time I was going to kill him and turn myself into the cops – he’d turn round to me the next day and say that he liked it better when I played it the first time round.” a crotchety Brock remarked.](https://scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/443913769_1182663939595851_4195251120671808303_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=Ni2G093BfEoQ7kNvgEFfPCL&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&oh=00_AYAsMrHrRIP2cTTRG_wHgvEwKSkLLs1hi_mUxOVCt6s6_g&oe=664E0D2A)
