Revenge

"Revenge was recorded in Mark's bedroom by the man himself. Russ Hymowitz had a repetitive, groovy bass line that he was really excited to show us. I had to get going, so I missed out hearing the idea! Mark played the drum machine alongside Russ's bass and then he overdubbed a Wurlitzer piano and a sustaining synth organ to the original take. The keys and the bass are so locked in and I love its eerie tone.

I heard the song a few days later and didn't have any ideas on what I could contribute. A week later, I was bored at work making the same old deliveries, when the phrase, 'Nice Guy Maker' kept entering my head. I wrote that down and kept driving. Then the idea of a 'grand plan' conceived by a sinister antagonist seemed interesting. I wrote that down and kept on driving. Pretty soon I was pulling over every two blocks, so I decided to stay put for 15 minutes and I finished the lyrics and the melody. I called up Mark and he recorded my vocals through an SM-57 later on that night."
