BTW: "Musically," Scientist Chris Cain tells P&P, "we wanted to make a record that, unlike our last one, sounded like three men making music in real time - with lots of effects and awesome rental amps and incredible plug-ins, sure). Guitar, bass, drums, three sets of vocal cords, and two fully-intact sets of male genitalia (DON'T ASK!!)."
What do you want people to come away with from listening to "Barbara"?
"A desire, later the same day, to listen again. If only to try to figure out which guy is missing dad-parts."
