Glasspack Lullaby

Ben Niven

Recorded in 2001; me on guitars and vocals and Frank Reynolds, the drummer from my most recent band, on drums. Drums recorded in our barn’s hayloft onto three tracks of a cassette four-track recorder (along with a scratch guitar track), then transferred into our computer, where I overdubbed the vocal and keeper guitars. Vocal and guitar solo were recorded through an old RCA desktop announcer mic, thus the midrangey sound. The main guitar’s in a low C tuning, with an overdubbed guitar in standard tuning…playing the same chords but in different voicings and with different effects (distortion, tremolo).
