E: Something we both noticed on the record is the drums sound bigger to us and we're assuming we're supposed to notice the difference.
Yeah, we recorded in the biggest room we've ever recorded the drums in and, hopefully Phil will address this stuff in his own interview, but I don't know what kind of compressors and stuff we used but the Neve [Trident, actually] board that we used has made everything sound tough and cool.
D: In listening I feel like I'm slightly distanced from the source, as opposed to the other records.
Yeah, well that's sort of been a gradual thing, not on purpose in any way but it seems like each of our recordings becomes a little more ambient. I don't know if rock music can be ambient. Things I've been listening to lately are old soul records and stuff. Of course those are ambient, but I think, too, with Built to Spill, the first things we did were really dry. I don't think there's any reverb at all on There's Nothing Wrong With Love.
E: Let's talk about your home studio.
