Malcolm is a long time friend of ours and an early musical collaborator. We all played music together in our formative years before we started Taxidermists as a two-piece. He grew up in Aquinnah, where we all experienced crucial scenic memories and spent time learning to rock. He continues to be an important artist and VIP. Also a skilled jeweler and can construct a solid stone wall.

I've had a really huge obsession with Malcolm McClaren this year. Not only did he discover the Sex Pistols and one of the pioneers of punk music, he also fuses genres like hip hop, opera and vogue music. Not to mention all the influence he had in the early Vivian Westwood, he’s definitely one of my greatest inspirations. I listen to the Fans album at least once a day.

Genius producer. Ive never seen his face. He produced my whole EP. Ive never seen his face but I know he’s a God. We started working over together over twitter. We have made over 150 tracks together. He told me the other day every time we complete a track he buys a memory stick for it in a different colour (pantone colours) and puts it on a chain and then hangs it on his ceiling. So when the wind blows they make their own song like chimes. Everyday I wish I knew he was. Being proper serious my two missions in life is to find out who Bamster is and win a British TV soap award.

These books called ‘I Spy’ started coming out in 1992. They consist of riddles written by Jean Marzollo, using rhymes to describe a variety of objects in each image you must find in order to turn. The images are by Walter Wick, who is a studio photo legend. Such special room-sized photo illustration pieces that have the ability to stick with people in a serious way. Tried to work with Walter to no avail. There’s an I Spy book in this studio right now, trying to find it. Have you seen it?¿

We are pretty adamant about recording the drums and guitar at the same time. It’s important for us to be in agreement about song structure and tonality when we’re getting a basic track. Less things to fix or think about later. We used to record the vocals live years ago. But why not use the linear aspect to use time getting an appropriate performance and really think about some cool overdubs?

Being from coastal Massachusetts… love a ship, love a train. When this band formed, we took a ferry in order to rehearse. 15 years later, Sal made sure that we saw the SS United States (still holds the record for fastest transatlantic crossing) last time we played in Philadelphia. Growing up in a place without trains, the fascination has never ceased. We recently went to this model train expo at the Big E (eastern states exposition and fair grounds). At approximately 450,000 square feet, I hear it’s the largest in North America! Cooper got a conductor pin and Sal got an engineer pin.
