Illside Strangler / Her Cold Heart

from California Smile by Klockwyze

about

The album’s dub track is called ILLSIDE STRANGLER. This track was originally an intro for Her Cold Heart. When we got down to recording it we noticed the song went well into 5 minutes, so we added a track marker and called it good. It's a mellow groove blended with tasteful horn arrangements. We later re-amped the snare and vocals through Greg's space echo pedal and Jeff's Pro Tools rig. We emailed the audio to Paul and he put the ourdubs in the mix.

Brownie had a sick arrangement called "Ska Light". We played it many times as an instrumental and it slowly faded into the sea of forgotten songs. At the same time Stevie had been working on HER COLD HEART. "I remember writing the finishing parts of this poem up in a trailer on the Nipomo Mesa... it was so cold I could see my breath." Toward the end of recording the track we all felt like it needed something more. We gave Jeff a rough mix and 24 hour notice to learn the song. Needless to say, he nailed the part, and added one of the sickest funeral home organ tones ever. "When you reach, heaven’s gate, save that spot for me..."
