Recording
Blake said, "We’d liked what John McEntire had done on the Stereolab records, so we got in touch with him. He was up for it, and suggested we come to Chicago. We hardly took any equipment, just some guitars and a pair of drumsticks. We even borrowed a guitar from Jeff Tweedy. I’m glad we did, otherwise we’d have been fucked. We’d have had to buy one!"[5]
