In this episode, John ventures over to Baltic Studios to catch up with Frank and Dean of Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes about how they wrote, recorded and produced their latest album ‘Sticky’.Unearthing demos and recordings from their time in a Norfolk holiday cabin, the pair look back on how their process has changed over the years, sharing thoughts on broadening their horizons and blurring the lines of writing and recording.As well as personal stories of self-sabotage, imposter syndrome and competition within music, the pair single out the ingredients that form their chaotic cacophony of sound, from homemade microphones and recycling unused material, to tuning gunshots from Call of Duty.Listen to find out why you should collaborate with people that make you feel lazy, how to react when Dave Grohl brings you a tray of shots mid set, and why Frank may soon be performing Moonlight Sonata. Tracks discussed: Rat Race, Go Get A Tattoo, Take It To The Brink  Listen to ‘Sticky’ here.‘Sticky’ - International Death Cult, AWAL Recordings Ltd Intro Music - Sunshine Buddy, Laurel Collective  LINKS TO EVERYTHING TAPE NOTES https://linktr.ee/tapenotes  GEAR MENTIONSArturia Waves MondoModValhalla RoomSoundtoys Decapitator  Soundtoys EchoBoySoundtoys Alter BoySpliceTelephone Mic ConversionShure SM7BUniversal Audio 1176 Compressor Thermionic Culture VultureFender Mustang BassFender AmpsSelmer AmpsRoland TR-808Whurlitzer OUR GEARhttps://linktr.ee/tapenotes_ourgear  HELP SUPPORT THE SHOWIf you'd like to help support the show you can donate as little or as much as you'd like here, (we really appreciate your contributions :) Donate KEEP UP TO DATEFor behind the scenes photos and the latest updates, make sure to follow us on: Instagram: @tapenotes Twitter: @tapenotes Facebook: @tapenotespodcast  YouTube: Tape Notes PodcastDiscord: Tape NotesTo let us know the artists you’d like to hear, Tweet us, slide into our DMs, send us an email or even a letter.
