"Jupiter" is Cave In's second 'real' full-length record, and seemingly the toughest for us to write. We started writing these songs sometime in the spring of 1999 after our Dillinger Escape Plan / Converge winter tour. We recorded random demos of a few songs during a couple of in-between recording sessions. We began our trusty 4-track demo process soon after regaining some new equipment from a destructive van fire we had on our summer 1999 tour with Isis. These 4-track demos also produced what later would become material for the Sacrifice Poles CD. The actual recording process went fairly quick and somewhat trouble-free despite the rough roads leading to this point. All the basic tracks were recorded live, which we surprisingly hadn't done for an album until "Jupiter". We wanted this to sound sort of like a "live" Cave In record with some polish on the final product, and we believe for the most part that we did it. And damn, we barely survived off Morning Star Hot Pockets and terrible Stoughton Chinese food during tracking & mixing. Thankfully, Mr. Shoeshine oversaw the entire recording ordeal and made sure we retained our sanity as much as we could. |
