Perhaps they can be induced to write a song about bottled water exports. Interesting group.
The airy band from Toronto became a unit with this album. While both this and last year’s self-titled debut were the primary projects of Dekker, he enlisted the help of those he assembled to finish off the touring slate for the first record to go into the studio to lay down “Bodies and Minds.” With a history of hankering down and plugging in the mixing board in some pastoral settings, Dekker this time decided on a rural church beside a lake in southern Ontario, just north of Lake Erie.
“It was a really isolated place. It’s kind of a nice place to be in the summer time, but we got there near the end of it so there weren’t that many people to bother us,” he said. “It definitely made a difference with the record. (The setting) was like another instrument in the band. We wanted to get, what I think is a pretty distinct sound. We tried to get that natural reverb. For me, it was a lot more comfortable atmosphere to record in.”
