ORGY Guitarist Describes Recording Process For New Album

February 3, 2004

ORGY guitarist Amir Derakh recently spoke to PopGurls.com about the band's upcoming third full-length album, "Punk Statik Paranoia", due on February 24 through D1 Music. Asked if recording for the group's own label (D1 is headed by father-and-son team of CEO/ORGY frontman Jay Gordon and COO Lou Gordon) this time around has enhanced the band's creative space, Amir said, "Oh yeah, we've always had control over the end product, it's always been pretty much the same. Basically, the difference is that when we first started recording this record, we were still on Warner Brothers, and we just couldn't get it together with them to get the record going and they weren't dropping us. So we finally managed to get let out of our contract and got the stuff that we had already recorded. As part of leaving we got to take that with us."

With regards to the recording process, Amir said, "On the first two records, we worked more separately and for the most part, most of those songs weren't played live beforehand, they were mostly just programmed. A lot of the writing went on with groups of us working together at separate times — it wasn't necessarily the whole band working together, although everyone in the band would work on it. But with the new record, the idea was sort of just to record it... you know, kind of write the songs and then record them, basically, and what we ended up doing was recording the songs while we were writing them, so the band was playing them live . . [This in turn has] made for more of a grungier sounding record — it's a little less polished than the other records." Read the rest of the interview here.
