Big Walnuts Yonder is an indie rock album released in 2017 by the eponymous supergroup. Big Walnuts Yonder consists of bassist/vocalist Mike Watt from Minutemen, guitarist Nels Cline from Wilco, drummer Greg Saunier from Deerhoof, and guitarist/vocalist Nick Reinhart from Tera Melos.[7]
The album was recorded in three days during the summer of 2014 in Brooklyn, New York City,[8] live with very limited overdubs[9] and produced by Tony Maimone.[10] Months later vocals were added with Reinhart handling seven and Watt performing two.[9] Watt provided most of material by sharing rough versions of his compositions, or "launchpads" as he calls them,[1] played on bass.[11] On these tracks guitar was added after Watt's basslines, something that initially intimidated Reinhart[12] but Cline was familiar with the method of composing having worked this way before with Watt on Contemplating the Engine Room.[12] Cline and Saunier each contributed a track of their own.[13]
Raymond Pettibon created the album art.[3]
