| The New Steam EP was recorded in Chicago between November 2006 and January
2007. In
addition to the title track, which will also be released on Roommate's
forthcoming
2nd album, it features covers of songs by Red Red Meat and Broadcast as
well as an
instrumental track initially conceived for a film about an elderly Roman
man's
memories of his late wife. Unlike past Roommate releases, which were largely solo, home-recorded affairs, the production of the New Steam EP was primarily collaborative, with band members taking an active role in arranging, recording and mixing songs written or chosen by Roommate founder/frontman Kent Lambert. The EP was intended to combine the organic energy of a Roommate show with the kind of headphone candy (computer-generated textures, Gameboy beats) that defined Roommate's debut album "Songs the Animals Taught Us." |
