The team discusses precious vocals, noisy artsy production, and smoking while in the studio.Join the comment thread NOW available on our free Patreon to continue the conversation about this episode and get early access to the weekly show 100% ad free, plus 60+ bonus shows like Song Battle and Guilty Pleasureshttps://www.patreon.com/1001AlbumComplaintsJoin our Mailing List here: https://linktr.ee/1001albumcomplaintsEmail us your complaints (or questions / comments) at [email protected] Thanks to Jenn Tully @superawesomemix -- Find her podcasts here:What Are You Listening To? :https://open.spotify.com/show/2Ki3TOiB1uFOGrQv5rJsDB?si=b38ed695f1c7449aThe Battle: https://open.spotify.com/show/4gNWvBYEjbsToX4F9uuTGn?si=8f7863f7577a4ac1Listen to our episode companion playlist (compilation of the songs we referenced on this episode) here:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7syhy2RAOw4EqRl3kA0LKW?si=26c9b3c0800c46f8Listen to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot here:https://open.spotify.com/album/0rPtXOMN42nsLDiShvGamv?si=xp3iyV4CSR-kAo5N4A62sAIntro music: When the Walls Fell by The Beverly CrushersOutro music: After the Afterlife by MEGAFollow our Spotify Playlist of music produced directly by us.
