Biography
Between The Needles & Nightfall was conceived at Trout Recording in Brooklyn, NY where engineer Bryce Goggin (Pavement, Akron/Family) tracked Marco Benevento and his trio, featuring bassist Reed Mathis and drummer Andrew Barr, over three days. The material was drawn from fragments of melodies and song ideas that Benevento had been collecting throughout the year. To achieve the colors he envisioned for these compositions, Benevento recorded on a baby grand piano bolstered by guitar pick-ups, amplifiers and a myriad of pedals and circuit bent toys, while adding flourishes of Moog, Optigan, Mellotron and Farfisa.
“The two previous records were tracked in two days, but for Between The Needles we had an entire third day to work,” explains Benevento. “Three additional songs were written and recorded in that last handful of hours at Trout. For a musician going to Bryce’s studio is like visiting an amusement park. He’s got all this crazy vintage gear with which we could experiment. Thanks to his genius and all of his Gogginisms we were able to create with no walls, capture with no distraction and transmit with no hesitation.”
After wrapping the sessions at Trout Recording, Benevento then transferred the tracks to his home studio, taking the next two months to cut, loop and shape the pieces into full-fledged songs.

bus ride is brilliant and invisible baby is better than anything by the Duo, imo.

invisible baby is so amazing. If you like the jazzier songs, you should listen to Hiromi.
