Short interview with Marah:
SM: In October the band is releasing “Kids in
Philly” on vinyl to celebrate it’s 15th anniversary of release, have
you heard a test pressing of “Kids in Philly” yet?
DB: Yeah, and I
ain't lying...it's 10 times the record it is known to be. “KIP” was
made as an analog record, but it's only ever been heard as a sterile,
MP3-esque digital, small, tinny picture of its old self...I'm very
pleased to say that as an LP, all of the life and soul and bass and
balls have returned and it sounds super-duper, very powerful and
convincing.
It is one of the very few
good records I can think of that appeared at the exact wrong second and
fell into that digital only movement where, up until now, it was frozen
between those changing technologies. Luckily—with a ton of hard work—we
were able to double back and rescue it. Close call—now it'll be on the
Earth long after we are. Thanks to Paul Smith (amazing production) and
Scott Hull at Masterdisk NYC (mastering engineer, vinyl enthusiast and
Buddha of music.)
