Sane Ones by Boys Who Say No

Produced by Dean & Jay

We did some interesting sonic experiments on this song.  The “huge” bass drum sound was achieved by putting another larger bass drum in front of Frank’s small bass drum and tuning it to resonate in the key of the song.  It was hailing outside during the glockenspiel overdubs, so you can hear the sound of hail hitting the windows in the quieter moments (always a bonus on a moody song like this).  Listen for the various “voices” at after the lyric “what are you going to do when you grow up …”  The boys were shouting various vocations into the mics (just for fun) and we decided to keep them in the track (of course).
