Pop Goes The Death Star

This song is my Popiest in a while. Loaded with pop tropes including a modulation in the bridge and a half tempo verse, full speed power outro that then... what?? The songs not over? That's right a come back after a kick and snare jump start, and then a fade. And a snare like a kick in the nuts from my trusty, very old Roland 626 drum machine beefed up with several reverbs (Gated Plate up front and big room pulled way down).
I had a surprising amount of fun recording this in between other stuff going on this week, like Checking out a Superchunk show on Thursday and then seeing Fischerspooner after recording on Saturday evening. Both free shows in Prospect Park (Thanks Brooklyn!).
On other notes, Celebrate Pride Month! Trump's still a despicable shithole. Melania Don't Care, Do U? Hold your children closer. Hope you are all well!
