Mastered at AUM studio by Patrick Matthey
Rancho mirage is the name of a resort in the Californian desert where my grandmother is living. There isn’t much special about it, but I just love the name of the place. It’s so romantic, I had to use it in a song, and it became this sort of story about a quest in the desert.
Then again, in terms of sound, I wanted to record something with arrangements inspired by the amazing band Calexico or the song ‘Bang Bang’ by Lee Hazelwood and Nancy Sinatra, but the end result sounds kind of Slavic. How the hell did that happen?
Many thanks to Isabel N for playing this great violin part in my kitchen! (the only pro musician part I’ve ever recorded)
