about

While cleaning up my Google Drive I came across the OTIS CHRIST SUPERSTAR pre-production sessions and found something there that's just too cool to be buried in digital wasteland, so here it is.

In 2012 we spent an entire week at an isolated cottage in the south of France where we played music all day and socialized all night. We had a simple recording setup and wrote the majority of the upcoming album there, and brought it back with us as demos.

Among these recordings there was this instrumental post-rock jam that could have been a Calexico demo. We threw it out before we went to Studio 195 to record the actual album, because "Apocalypse When" did not fit the vibe at all. What you're hearing is the first and last take we ever did of it so excuse the strange notes here and there.

The a-side of this posthumous digital single is a rough mix of "Born On A Bed Of Nails" from the final album.
