Primal Screaming

Antonoff belts it out behind the glass. "Being in the studio with John, it got to the point where I was like, 'Oh, it would be cool if we had some distorted screaming that sounds like it was recorded underwater,' and I'd go into the booth and do some weird, primal screaming shit," Antonoff laughed. "It would sound really bad, but we would both be on the same wavelength of like, 'Oh, if we put that in a crazy distortion and have it exist in the bottom of the track, it's gonna be really cool.'"
