On June 21, Viva Voce returns with its sixth studio album. The Future Will Destroy You (Vanguard) was written, recorded, mixed and mastered in the Portland, Ore., home studio of Kevin and Anita Robinson. RecordStoreDay.com is premiering a new Daniel Ryan-directed video for the album’s title track today, and we are offering an mp3 download of “Analog Woodland Song.” Says Kevin of “Analog Woodland Song,” “I had this riff in my iPhone voice-memo recorder since last year, and it wasn’t until we put our heads together that it took shape. I came up with the chorus rhythm, and Anita fit it with this great Ray Davies sort of melody and lyrics. I wanted to record the drums with hot rods (not drum sticks) and only had one pair that weren’t chipped to hell, so I had to work out the drum parts in my head long before we recorded. So out of necessity, the drums were all one take. I accidently popped the click track in while mixing, and it sounded cool, so we ran the paradiddle through some boxes and found its place in the verses.” Download the track below.
