It was recorded at Sear Sound in NYC. John Siket engineered, and we recorded the basic track live, all 4 members going to tape. We did a few overdubs on guitar, but the track is pretty simple sounding.
Steve Shelly played an AWESOME groove on the song, and he only used one stick, his right had he played shaker.
I think Kim's voice was recorded through an M 49...which sounded amazing!
FYI: Walter Sear's mic collection is out incredible!
