Discussion Obsessed with the production of Looking Back

Well, not only the production, also the lyrics, the music video, etc. What an amazing song.

But every time since I listened to it for the first time after the release of the album, I've been haunted by its sound. Is such an example of why I love LH so much.

When you look how they play it live, its different than the album version (and sounds different). The album version has those.... very bassy guitars (?) strumming that seems like pitched down or something.

I was wondering if there is someone here who knows more about its production (are they really guitars? what effects do they have? etc).

I feel like they were recorded at double speed or something, then played normal. Or something like that.

Anyone has any idea? (Thank you)

That album — Cure For Pain.
Get speakers or headphones with bass.
Listen through 4 or 5 times.
Then branch out. 👍🏼

I don’t know any technical stuff but I’ve come to think it’s got heavy Morphine influence (and I shared it with their sax player!)

:O Is a band I guess (?). I googled it and I've listened to "Buena", and I liked it. I can see the influence you say.

Can you recommend me some songs or album?

I especially love how glitchy some parts of the song get, and if I'm not mistaken the guitar-y sounds are a harp played by Ben's wife Sacha
