Sean Beavan

about three albums and some eventful shows and um around 1990 we were still trying we'd left that label and, um, we're trying something else, uh, recorded a record that really didn't get released.

Um, we'd worked with Sean Bevan, who he was a Clevelander, but he was also the guy behind sort of the producer behind Nine Inch Nails and eventually Marilyn Manson.

But he was, he was an all around musician and liked all sorts of great stuff and was pretty uh pretty good on that the production of things and kind of worked with us but the the record never got released this is 1990. okay and then 91 we were still trying to be a band but it just kind of fizzled out and morphed into cobra verde okay um and that was john petkovic myself and dave swanson pretty much at the time

okay and and that and that gets some legs right like that you guys start to get traction and play some shows get a little notice and and i mean i that it sort of levels up for lack of a better word

And then you have this like wistful, like, you know peaceful uh serene voice of free dominguez on certain places sometimes you'll get both of those at the same time in the same song with this and just how everything just jumps with dynamics and i don't think a lot of a lot of artists really get that nowadays is how you play with dynamics and it really just kind of like more of like it definitely It took the recording nerd in me, you know, to to really sort of like embrace that.

Did you tweak on to the fact that Sean Beavan had a hand in this record behind the decks and whatnot? If we're talking about people working within the larger industrial world who have an ear for that sort of subtlety and that sort of nuance.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

And I'm like, "What?" So I would find...

Like me and Sean Beavan, who was the sound guy, who's a producer-

Mm-hmm

... who worked on the record, he likes soy milk too.
