Usually I work on a demo at home, recording guitar and vocals and sometimes bass and drums. Then we learn the songs together, tweak the arrangements, play them out a few times, and make adjustments along the way accordingly. Sometimes we make a demo of us all playing together. Eventually we record for real in a studio. Even after those recordings come out, we still make modifications to how the live performance will be, so the songs stay fresh to us.“American Horror” is the first release of Speedy Ortiz’ upcoming four-track EP Real Hair, due to be released on February 11 and can be preordered HERE.
