Gear Garage: Ep. 7 – Deconstructing Dark Matter (Pt. 2)

So if it felt like you were waiting for a long time for this episode to arrive, it’s because you were. In order to bring you the best product for every episode, Javier works tirelessly to find what exactly it is that makes a song sound a certain way. As he’ll mention in the episode, the thing that was tripping him up the entire time was the intro to Upper Hand. He had sent me messages and audio clips and expressed his dissatisfaction for weeks, until it finally clicked.

Every episode presents the Guru’s best effort to break down the music in a way you may not have recognized before, but for this one especially, he’s gone above and beyond the call of duty. This is the meat and potatoes (pun?) of the record. He’ll break down Won’t Tell, Upper Hand, Waiting For Stevie and Running. The comments would be greatly appreciated on this one!
