It was recorded and mixed live to stereo tape\u003cbr\u003eby Bryce Gonzales (the same engineer\/wizard known for his gorgeous live\u003cbr\u003ecaptures\/mixes of Jeff Parker's ETA IVtet).\u003cbr\u003e     Between HOW YOU BEEN and their 2024 debut SMALL MEDIUM LARGE\u003cbr\u003e(both of which were heavily edited, shaped and post-produced) the band has\u003cbr\u003edeveloped a reputation for records that are heavily fused, polished, and punchy.\u003cbr\u003eThe medium is on full post-modern display on those LPs, and the band’s post-\u003cbr\u003eproduction knife can be responsible for much of the perspective—the tastiest\u003cbr\u003emorsels collected, arranged, and rearranged just so.\u003cbr\u003e     Spontaneous Music Live removes the curatorial perspective and pulls the\u003cbr\u003ecurtain back on that search-pluck-reconstruct editing process. What we’re left\u003cbr\u003ewith is the psychedelic realism of the band in situ, in their home town,\u003cbr\u003ecollectively improvising, fully in-the-moment, mining for that moment of\u003cbr\u003ediscovery. We hear, in macro, each nugget of sound which could be the basis for a future SML album track, spattered amongst the collective chaos-and-control like stars in the night sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ui-tabs ui-corner-all ui-widget ui-widget-content\" id=\"aec-musictabs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-hidden=\"false\" class=\"ui-tabs-panel ui-corner-bottom ui-widget-content\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"MusicTracks\" id=\"mt-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tracksonly\" id=\"aec-jukebox\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"jp-playlist tracksonly\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e     Songs are: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\" face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"2\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\" face=\"Arial\"\u003eThe Drums (all of side one) \u003cbr\u003eRoundabouts (all of side two) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSEALED NEW\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;\" face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"2\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\" face=\"Arial\"\u003e LP \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"RedEye","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49006684242171,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/4553\/files\/201375120552.jpg?v=1782361388","url":"https:\/\/orbitrecords.com\/products\/sml-spontaneous-music-live","provider":"Orbit Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
