The Making of Deerhoof's "Miracle Level" at No Fun Club

Exactly one year ago today, I (Mike Bridavsky) jumped in my car and drove from No Fun Club Studios (a studio I helped design) in Winnipeg, Manitoba to John Dietrich's house in Minneapolis, MN after exporting the final mixes for Deerhoof’s “Miracle Level”. It was 11 pm on the 4th of July as I was driving through downtown Minneapolis, the new record on full blast, fireworks exploding literally a few hundred feet from my car as I was cruising over a bridge on the freeway, and in that moment it felt as though I had truly reached a miracle level of existence.
I cut together a single 10 minute video of footage from the session that goes into great detail about making this record, plus a bunch of behind-the-scenes footage including some mixing clips, overdub recording, and an eclectic selection of wondrous dances performed during the session.
Happy Birthday, Miracle Level!

Long time fan of Deerhoof and also the best internet cat in history LIL BUB (and hence Mike Bridavsky by association), this video is absolutely wonderful and the new album holds up amongst their best, easily. I hope Deerhoof make music for another 30 years.

Omg side chain it and duck the drums 😅 forgot about that too. I’ve been slacking on recording creatively lately! Need a bigger space

Every sound is perfect and emotional, but hearing Satomi's vocals isolated like that made me cry and cry

Hold up, you mic'd up the electric guitars accoustic sound, through a pedal into a mic'd amp. That's super interesting.

Hello! Wonderful video. I have an off-top question probably: what camera and lens were you using to shoot this, especially the footage 0:22 - 1:10? The colors and stabilization look great.

It's a canon r6. I believe Im using the RF28-70mm F2 L USM. its an incredible lens, even though it weighs a ton

Why do they record the piano soundboard ?

@RussianRecording 6 ай бұрын

The hammers provide the attack and percussive sound of the piano, while the soundboard provides sustain and body. By mic'ing both and recording them to separate tracks, you can blend them to taste, having control over the ratio of attack and sustain in the mix.
