Hey all--
Back to the well, same as last time, for these ones. "Corrupt..." features our comrade Paul R. Cardillo on the bass, again participating via correspondence course. I guess I'll drop some change in the Feelies' jar on this one (and by default the Velvets'), though we didn't have the time or instrumental ability to stretch out the arrangements as much as Hoboken's beloved sons and daughter would have. We did try and keep it short and garage-y, and I suspect it might provide one heck of a liver barn-burner should that occasion ever arise.
"Losing Light" might've started out with warm sentiments but, as I lived with the song before recording it, I realized that there was definitely potential to go dark on it. So the statement around which the song was conceived ("Though I'm losing light, I'm gonna drive all night to you") turned from promise to threat as the narrator crossed into creepy, somewhat psychotic territory. The mood was certainly helped by RK's tom-tom beat (with some slap-back delay added during production) and cymbal washes, by the tremelo-and-reverbed open-tuned guitar, topped off with some guitar feedback and spacious piano. My take, anyways.
