… Demon Attack (the song) …

Demon Attack is the final song on my new record “Bits”. It is mostly acoustic guitar with some rockin’ electric at the end.

I started out tracking with my Delta Blues 210 and a Danelectro Daddy-O pedal for just a little overdrive, miked with a Blue Ball.

This quickly went out the window when I tried to get a good tone for the final chords of the song. It just didn’t have the right midrange. I switched everything out for the Blackheart with no pedal. Miked it off axis with a 57. Worked great.

I finished the lyrics for the song today and as I was recording vocals, my sister came over to use the internet. She was in the room right next to mine and I was blasting out some pretty weird words about demon attacks. hmmmmmm……..

Towards the end, the harmonies get pretty stacked so I find it helps to lay the tracks out in a symetrical fashion like this to keep track of the arrangement.

I have decided to post a little bit of Demon Attack here. So this is how it will all end … “Bits” that is. It’s getting there that’s is all the fun.

Enjoy!
