Baker's Dozen

Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

13. Shit And ShineDoing Drugs, Selling Drugs

AC + JR: This is a good example of a more traditional band record that sounds like it’s been recorded in a fairly strange way – there’s loads of interesting production techniques being used that you might not normally expect to hear in a record that sounds like this. For example, the crazy time-stretching of the guitar in the amazingly titled “Cooking Steaks In The Pocket’ – it’s like sludge metal made by a dial up modem. This came out a few months before we started seriously talking about doing the Persher project and it was definitely one of the records that influenced us in the initial stages of writing the first tracks.
