Austin post-punks talk recording Strange Burden
For a certain Austin demographic – namely, UT indie kids and/or frequent visitors of campus-area venue the Ballroom – the question isn’t whether they’ve seenDrummer Jack Owens, bassist Roman Parnell, percussionist Logan Wagner, and multi-instrumentalist Anthony Laurence jump between zippy guitar rock and angsty electronica, while vocalist Thom Waddill fronts the quintet with a raucous display of David Byrne dance moves and anguished whimpers.
Completing the project involved a lot of back-and-forth between studio experimentation and live improvisation, Waddill, Owens, and Laurence explain one afternoon at Epoch Coffee. The band recorded numerous demos throughout the writing process to keep a document of their ideas but saw those files purely as sketches, not anything ready to be released to the public.
Combining those disparate sections proved another recording struggle. Laurence remembers tracking the song at three different studios in different keys and tempos, while Owens adds, “ fell in and out of love with it.”
