Rotundamule is a 2-headed monster. One head is named Tommy, the other is Gregg. Tommy plays the drums and Gregg the Guitars. Both heads do the singing. Rotundamule records on a 4-Track cassette recorder. All of the songs are recorded without any track bouncing, without any effects pedals, and no compression was applied at any stage of the recording.

The instruments used on Scratch Tracks: Mapex 5-piece drum kit, Gibson SG and Hamer Gold Top electric guitars, an Epiphone acoustic guitar, and a Marshall tube head on a 4x12 cabinet. The Epiphone is now dead and gone and resting in pieces. Other sounds on the album were made by a beat-up old mandolin, a rusty harmonica, some percussion things, and other junk that was laying around.

This is raw rock & roll. This is lo-fi! A fan of Rotundamule described them like this: “Sound as if he recorded in a dirty gas station bathroom during a fill-up while fleeing from the law for shooting his girlfriend and is now on his way down south to meet his maker.” This quote hits it right on the head. Rotundamule drives it home.
