With this makeshift studio accessible to the band members, Elliott also began recording songs that would end up on Either/Or, possibly "Punch and Judy" and "Cupid's Trick." He also wrote, recorded, and produced "I Figured You Out" for Mary Lou Lord at this house (for her Martian Saints EP). This wasn't on Either/Or, but there's a riff in ‘Christian Brothers' that's from one of my songs that we abandoned." Sometimes he'd drop them, then later pick them back up and revise them on his own. Neil: "The songs felt interchangeable between his solo work and the band. It was a lot of fun conquering the limitations (drums in the dining room, guitars in the kitchen) and making a cool record." Heatmiser's other songwriter was the talented Neil Gust. I pitched Tom on the idea, and off we went. Elliott called me and said they were in a bind on the Heatmiser record. Possibly recording at my house, like we had for parts of Beck's Mellow Gold, but it didn't come together. Rob: "I know we had been talking about doing something together for a while. We held out for a year, for total control, and then went so far as to buy our own equipment. We were totally paranoid going into that deal. Heatmiser had signed to Virgin Records in 1995, and rented a house in Portland, OR, to record in, known as The Heatmiser House (SE Ankeny at 20th Ave.).Įlliott: "We got the check from Virgin, and we were on a big do-it-yourself kick. It's important to note that Mic City Sons and Either/Or not only were written close to the same time frame, but both share the co-production of Rob Schnapf and Tom Rothrock.

All quotes from Elliott are from the interview I did for Tape Op #4, as he was wrapping up the sequencing of Either/Or before the original mastering by Don Tyler at Precision Mastering in December 1996.įeature Photo: Elliott and Sam Coomes at Abbey Road, 1998.
