we can do it 97
When the howtoplays finally decide it's time to record their first demo,
their repertoire already consists of over 60 songs, most of which are
just a rough sketch. The demo "We can do" for the first time forces
the HTP to take the time to actually finish their songs.
The instruments are recorded first on the new HTP 4-track and mixed down to
two tracks using guitar pedals as effect units. This leaves room for backing
vocals, a novelty for the howtoplays. The result is an incredibly spontaneous
sounding mix (read 'rough and noisy').
