Clincher (EP)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The EP was produced by Brad Wood and Tar.[4] It was named for a song that would appear on the band's next album, Toast.[5] The band took a democratic approach to songwriting, playing together in the studio and then discussing what was working.[6] They allowed the songs to take shape without having any ingrained ideas about form or genre, although they wanted more melodicism.[6][7] Mark Zablocki and John Mohr played customized aluminum guitars; a photo of a Specimen Products guitar adorns the EP cover.[3][8] "Teetering" is a remixed version of a previously released song.[9] "Deep Throw" and "Solution 8" are live tracks; the studio version of the former had first appeared on a Sub Pop single.[10] The band decided to include them because the originals were issued in limited presses.[11]
