Friday Recycling: Car Wash Hair by Mercury Rev featuring Dean Wareham
On Twitter yesterday Mercury Rev’s Grasshopper replied to a query about the making of Car Wash Hair..
@LonesomeBones Jonathan's idea, he sang us the melodies-Dave Fridmann, Suzanne and I embellished it. Went Astral Weeks meets Superfly vibe.

@LonesomeBones And by the end, Dean Wareham, Jonathan & I are all interweaving guitar lines over the strings, flutes, French horn, clarinet.

@LonesomeBones I used to have a custom effects pedal that made my guitar sound like a trumpet, wish I still had that, lost it in my travels.
