The bass mic picks up drum sound, the snare mic picks up some guitar reverb, the room mics pick up everything, and so on. This is a fairly traditional, old fashioned recording method -- setting up the microphones and rolling tape. This is not to say that Whorn isn't without problems; after all, the band peaked during Cunning Stunts and Sexy Pee Story, then opted to explore the more avant territory visited here and on the band's final, massively tweaked Beefheart-meets-Flipper-meets-Chrome opus, Sorry in Pig Minor. But overall, Whorn, with its inventive title, is pure Cows -- loud, noisy, brash, cryptically odd, dense, and wonderfully strange. At times the recording style soars; at others, it sags. ~ Patrick Kennedy","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52902348161311,"sku":"792401005028","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/92f599086269ebdde2e1d3150710d802.jpg?v=1789927124","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/whorn","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
