Watch a behind the scenes video with Twitching Tongues at The Pit in Van Nuys, CA for the "Disharmony" recording sessions.
As with the album's predecessors, engineering, production and mixing was handled by Taylor Young, brother Colin asserting that it's his "engineering masterpiece", and the chunky, layered sound and dynamism of the recording bears this out. With most of the songs written with the live scenario in mind they wanted to capture that energy and spontaneity, and the process itself was a profound time in the band's existence, aware they were creating something truly special. Caught up in this excitement it came together very quickly, and, in fact from some fans' point of view, almost worryingly so. "Everything went so smoothly, and before we knew it we were on track and flying through it. We were posting about the recording process as we went, and people were seeing that and saying slow down! Don't go so fast!" Young laughs. "But we were taking our time. The best part about making music is making music, and we were always on our toes, so excited to see the outcome, and everything just came really naturally." With the finished result exceeding even their own expectations, the band are hungry to play the songs of Disharmony to the fans, both those recently acquired and those who have supported them since day one. "Within the first year of the band some guy had my lyrics tattooed on his chest, and another guy got a tattoo on his head. That kind of passion was a sign, saying to us alright, we're doing something that people are going to get behind, it's not only us who believe in what we're doing. It's such a comforting thing to be able to play a city five years after you played there the first time and some of the same people are there singing along. Clearly they're still around for the long haul, and it will be a long haul, because even though we've been around a while this really feels like the beginning."
