Studio Time with The Soft Pack

October 13, 2009


When we heard quintessential California punk rock band The Soft Pack has come east to record their debut album for Kemado, we were a little surprised they'd want to take the surf from their sound. But when we showed up in the DUMBO section of Brooklyn, they were hunkered down in a basement studio with board wizard Eli Janney, who was the reason for tempting them cross country. We sat with the band (a shy Janney had to make a phone call) to talk about the recording process and what comes next for a lovingly scrappy group named after the weird kind of cigarette box.
