Our Basement,
Being in a relationship that’s on the rocks can be exhilarating and exhausting at the same time.
When it inevitably comes to an end, you’re left wondering if it was ever worth it to begin with, but you can still experience cravings for the more wholesome periods of your time together.
“You and Me,” taken from our album, Wentworth and Main (out September 10th), is about one of those relationships – one that has the velocity of atoms smashing in the Large Hadron Collider.
This song was produced by Luke Bentham (The Dirty Nil), engineered by Vince Soliveri (The Red Hill Valleys), mixed by Dave Schiffman (PUP), and mastered by Harry Hess (Monster Truck). We really focused on getting down to the roots of the song, stripping away the excess from the original bedroom demo. Steeping “You and Me” in overdrive and tape saturation gives it the raw power that such a description of a relationship needs.
We don’t write typical love songs in the sense that we don’t necessarily bake happy endings into them by default. Relationships are messy and there is no messier force than the power of love.
Thank you for listening!
The Ruddy Ruckus
