Eric (Some Became Hollow Tubes)
SPB: How did COVID impact the recording of this collaborative record?
Eric: COVID gave us the gift of time. We worked slower than usual, since we were adjusting to life at home and finding other things to occupy the mind from all the gloomy stuff. After the initial shocks, cancelations, uncertainties and figuring out what to do with ourselves -- but also not being able to get together, it was only natural to work with material we already had on hand. Luckily we recorded a bunch of stuff in 2019, and there was a lot of music to go through to mix and edit, which made up the recent album. Being at home a lot and stuck at proximity when we’re usually off on tour with our other projects, it helped with the coordination of the collaborative work. Most of it was done online but eventually in person when things opened up again.
