Sun & Sail Club have launched a new trailer (see below) for their coming debut album “Mannequin” which they intend to release in November. The outfit are comprised of Fu Manchu‘s Bob Balch—and somewhat confusingly, Fu Manchu drummer Scott Reeder and ex-Kyuss, etc. bassist Scott Thomas Reeder.
Balch said of the project:
“I really wanted Scott Reeder (Kyuss) to play bass on it. I love the work he’s done in his recording studio too, so I figured that if we recorded stuff there, hopefully he’d dig it and play on it… He asked to play on it and I almost crapped myself. I don’t think I’ve ever said ‘Yes!’ faster. His bass lines are insane. Lots of drop A stuff which is probably pretty hard on bass. He nailed it too! I went back into the studio to lay down the vocoder parts as a guide for singers. I did the track Gang Justice first and Reeder turned around and said, ‘That’s how the vocals will stay. It’s inane.’ He asked, ‘Do you have stuff for every song using the vocoder?’ I did. So we went to work. The only song I didn’t have vocals for Reeder sang. It’s named I’m Not Upside Down.”
J. Robbins (Clutch, Against Me!) handled the mixing duties for the effort.
