Background and recording
Prior to Full Bleed, Moore and Moloney were both members of the band Chelsea Light Moving and had released a string of live albums together as the Caught on Tape duo, beginning with their self-titled in 2012 and ending with Banjaxed Blues in 2013. Eventually, they were approached by Northern Spy Records to create a studio album, and although they were initially hesitant to the idea,[5] they ultimately agreed, recording at Sonelab in Easthampton, Massachusetts on September 12, 2013.[1] According to the engineer Justin Pizzoferatto, the sessions would have taken place earlier, but they were postponed. The recording spanned four hours, with mixing taking a similar time to complete.[5]
