Long Island by Self Defense Family

I honestly have no recollection of this session at all. Judging by the lyrical content, I'm putting these at six years ago. I think we had a vague idea of wanting to write a new Deadguy record but ended up sounding like Unsane. This took place in a basement on Long Island, I remember that much. Was the engineer in Sainthood Reps or did I make that up? What tour were we on? Did I do vocals that day or did I record them in a practice space later? Who did the mix? Who even played on this?

I hadn't revisited these tracks in a long time but found on this listen they stand up pretty well. Did we miss our calling by putting out soft records? Is it time to bring back full stacks?
