But there was July of, of 2020 was basically all at Sonic Ranch in Texas, and we recorded this record in the Adobe Studio in Sonic Ranch.
speaker_3HOST
Whoa.
Nick HakimGUEST
And, um, before that, that week that I've been referencing of, like-
speaker_3HOST
Nice.
Nick HakimGUEST
Yeah.
Nick HakimGUEST
But, so I had, like, a week where I was, like, extremely productive, and, like, and then I started to organize these ideas, and, like, then I brought it to Sonic Ranch, um, with this crew of people, this...
Nick HakimGUEST
And, uh, and Jerry-
Tracy LawrenceHOST
Where did y'all cut this project at?
Sean RodriguezGUEST
in el paso at the sonic ranch very cool
Tracy LawrenceHOST
deep west texas yeah and and you brought some outside players in how much stuff did y'all track yourselves and when you brought outside people in did you have musicians that came in that brought some different flavors how did that shake out
Sean RodriguezGUEST
yeah i mean Well, Zane was kind of really pushing hard to get some of these extra sounds that we can't do.
Danny RaincheckGUEST

Danny RaincheckGUEST

Sean RodriguezGUEST
Where did you guys cut the record? Sonic Ranch, down in El Paso.
Sean RodriguezGUEST
We returned to the scene of the third record crime, and this time without Brent Cobb, unfortunately.
Kurt OzanHOST
I was going to ask if you guys were self-produced.
Kurt OzanHOST
And I love those dudes.
Kurt OzanHOST
I am... one of those dudes sometimes you're those dudes you're that dude but it's like when you and your buddies are like living in the guest house behind the studio or wherever it is I don't know how the living quarters worked
Sean RodriguezGUEST
out Sonic Ranch is awesome because it's literally one of the few places where everybody can just have their own room so you can just disappear if you don't have anything to do just disappear for a few hours or like there was some harmonica parts that ended up on the record that Lyndon and I recorded at 2.30 in the morning after we'd been drinking all day everybody else went to sleep just us recorded some stuff forgot about it and then it popped back up in the mix stumble to your room yeah and then
Zane WilliamsGUEST
they they cook for you they got these sweet mexican ladies that cook you three meals a day gosh they got all the gear you could ever want i mean the sonic ranch is kind of paradise for me they have every time we leave i'm like bummed yeah they gotta kick me out
Scott McDowellGUEST
And I was starting to lose my patience because I would get these gigs.
Scott McDowellGUEST
I would be, I was getting gigs where I was being, I was going up to Panoramic in Stinson Beach for a month, or I was going to Sonic Ranch for a couple of weeks, or I was going to, I was getting flown different places, going up to Seattle, going, going around the country to do what I kind of call destination records.
Scott McDowellGUEST
And my studio would just sit empty the whole time.
Scott McDowellGUEST
And so it was exciting and fun to go to a new place, but it was also frustrating because half the money I was earning was just going and paying for an empty room.
Troy CartwrightHOST
yeah
Zane WilliamsGUEST
and then Cinco also kind of had a little bit of that southwestern thing we recorded it in southwest Texas near El Paso at a place called the Sonic Ranch
Troy CartwrightHOST
yeah legendary studio yeah a lot of great records really one of
Zane WilliamsGUEST
my favorite places on earth to be
Troy CartwrightHOST
what is so special about that studio I've never been there but I know a lot of people make great records there oh
Zane WilliamsGUEST
I love the Sonic Ranch.
Zane WilliamsGUEST
So it's like sprawling and kind of rundown looking on the outside.
Zane WilliamsGUEST
And it's on a pecan orchard, like 6,000 acres or something that's on the Rio Grande.
speaker_1HOST
Exactly.
speaker_1HOST
And their arrangement work at Sonic Ranch seems to have been a bonding experience.
speaker_1HOST
That collaboration must have been crucial.
speaker_0HOST
For sure, it almost acts as a reminder of the creative process itself.
Dave PinoGUEST

Dave PinoGUEST
It s- it says Andrew WK." I'm like, "Let me check all the old session files that I have to see if, uh, that song is on there." And I'm, I'm looking, and, "Ba, dig a dig, dig a dig, dig a dig, dig a dig." I'm like, "Oh yeah, that is.
Dave PinoGUEST
I, ah.
Dave PinoGUEST
Now I remember playing that part." Um, but we never completed that song at Sonic Ranch.
