After a short tour of the Northwest, Vanderslice wanted to record a song that more closely represented a live show.
He used an Ampex MX-10 and ribbon mics for the vocal, stick, and guitar tracking to give the track a murky, subterranean feel. A classic UREI 1176 compressor was also used on the drum...
Snowbound for another day
Sunrise failed and faded away
Now I, I can't even see
The line between solid ground and sea
The coastline, it doesn't exist
It just shifts
Last night little Emma Pearl
Cross-leggedly told me about the world
From the southern seas to the northern lights
She told me - "smash the satellites"
If she doesn't exist
Why do I miss her?
