Our hope was that without the stresses and logistical difficulties of being musicians and engineers simultaneously, we would be liberated enough to propel our playing to a new level. This did in fact happen. Our takes were some of the most daring and expansive of our career. We captured sounds that were powerful, \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eunrepeatable, and unmistakably psychedelic. Images began to emerge, centered on dreams, memories, and defiance, and it seemed our record was coming together. But problems and frustrations with the studio slowed us down, and by mix down, the sessions came to a halt. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe let sleeping dogs lie for a while, and then I had the bright idea to call Dave Fridmann, the genius who produced The Woods for my other band SLEATER-KINNEY. He agreed to take the tapes to his studio in Fredonia, NY (Tarbox Road Studios). It was like winning the lottery. He understood the intensity and beautiful chaos we had captured. He made the mixes powerful and unpredictable. He enhanced the swirling, layered, psyche feel, and I swear, sprinkled fairy dust on our record. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI am proud of this music. Most of the bands that started when Quasi did are broken up or playing reunion shows. Tastes have changed, and fans have moved onto other things. But in the end, it’s the indescribable, soulful connection between Sam and me that compels us to continue writing and recording our songs. When the Going Gets Dark proves that all the blood, sweat and tears were worthwhile.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e-- Janet Weiss, drummer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack Listing \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSide A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003eAlice the Goon\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Rhino\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen the Going Gets Dark\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI Don’t Know You Anymore\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePeace and Love\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBeyond the Sky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSide B\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePresto Change-o\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePoverty Sucks\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMerry X-mas\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDeath Culture Blues\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInvisible Star\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0336\/8761\/files\/tg370lpc1_966x483_gray.jpg?v=1710375157\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff9900;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYour credit card will be charged when you place your order.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"color: #d70000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you order a copy of this album together with any other item(s), none of your items will ship until all of the items in your order are available (ie: until the release date of the last-to-be-released pre-order item in your cart). \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"color: #d70000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you want any of the items in your order to ship as soon as they are available, please place separate orders for each pre-order item. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"color: #d70000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCurrently in-stock items (ordered together with no pre-order items in the cart) will usually ship within 1 to 3 business days. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RTI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48912309322031,"sku":"TG270LP-C1","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0336\/8761\/files\/tg270lpC1_floor_302x143_6ffd7863-310b-447b-af55-09268a04fbbe.jpg?v=1710370849"}],"url":"https:\/\/touchandgorecords.com\/collections\/quasi.oembed","provider":"Touch And Go Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
