It sounds like you got the benefit of getting to be as perfect with your parts as you wanted to without the pressure of feeling like your bandmates are breathing down your back in the studio. The quality control is up to each guy when they're doing their part, and Adam ended up mixing this record, too.
I'd say, "Hey, guys, we really need to get in the room, we need preproduction, blah blah blah." But I think the benefit of experience and songwriting experience and the sort of team that does these records now, it's smooth and easy, and it gets done and they turn out great. I mean, if the records turned out horrible, then I would say the opposite. The band spends zero time in the same room, which is such a great thing. So that really eliminates any chance of Phil and I arguing. So I never really get any rough vocal takes.
And then Mitch Davis works with Phil exclusively. It's like, "Here's the music, do your thing," each guy. What goes into making a record amid the pandemic, logistically? What kind of challenges did you encounter?

The result is a raw, raunchy album that harks back to L.A.
