Here's a cover of the title track from Dillinger Escape Plan's penultimate record, 2013's One of Us Is the Killer. This tune is a combination of mellow and heavy parts, sounding to my ear like trying to wrap a number of elements that are part of the DEP sound into a short, straightforward track that is still very representative of the band's sound. Despite being arguably one of the more straightforward tracks in DEP's dense catalog of songs, it's still loaded up with a number subtle tricky details. Most notably is the repeating rhythmic motif in the verses and choruses consisting of three 8th note triplets starting on beat 4 of a measure, and then have an 8th note triplet rest on the 1st beat of the middle triplet, and the last beat of the final triplet. Also noteworthy, in the atonal bridge in the middle which consists of 5 measures per repeat, the final measure is in 5/4 of each repeat, except the very last repeat which adds an extra quarter beat making it 6/4, just to keep you on your toes!
For tracking, all guitars were played through the Fender Cybertwin mic'd with an sm57. Heavy guitars were doubletracked while clean guitars were single tracked. A keyboard was used to play the trumpet part buried in the mix on the interlude before the 2nd verse. Bass was direct in and drums were my usual mic configuration. Vox were tracked with an sm58 and were tuned as needed to accommodate double tracking in several spots as I struggle mightily with vocals!
This a great tune with lots of fine details all over the guitar parts and it was a blast to put together a DEP tune for the first time! Hope you dig it!
