about

Recorded live at The Sloodge during a practice in the summer of 2015. The session was set up with strategic microphone placement throughout the basement by Modelo and supervised time-to-time by Matthias Anton. No instruments were plugged in direct to the board.

The Sloodge was a brownstone in Park Slope that became home to an artistic landscape for events and social gatherings blooming into a magical place on its own through the people who showed up. It was located at 257 12th Street between 4th & 5th Avenues.

Holy Smokes had a unique way of songwriting at practices, often times playing two chords for hours and hours until an album worth of material developed and a knock on the door from the police to cut it for the night. This is a sample of what some of those practices sounded like.
