It's creepy and heavy... we've got a ten minute long Can jam, and had you suggested that possibility to me in 1998, I'd have eaten your puppy's brain with a spoon.\" In a Billboard piece, Walla described the album: \"It's really weird. It's really, really good, I think, but it's totally a curve ball, and I think it's gonna be a really polarizing record. But I'm really excited about it. It's really got some teeth. The landscape of the thing is way, way more lunar than the urban meadow sort of thing that has been happening for the last couple of records.\" Walla went on to say, \"[It's also] louder and more dissonant and [...] I think abrasive would be a good word to use. [We were influenced by] heavy, sludgy, slow metal [and] synth-punk band Brainiac.\" Ben Gibbard commented, \"I just don't feel like we really have anything to prove of it other than to ourselves and to making a record we really enjoy.\"\n\nIn 2011 Walla stated, \"the master plan for Narrow Stairs was to be as invisible and hands-off as a producer as I possibly could. I was really interested in seeing what would happen. When we started that record, we had been on tour for the better part of two years. All we could remember was being on stage and playing. So the whole idea was: what happens if we’re just on stage and we play, except we’re in the studio and we’re recording?\" Walla added \"Narrow Stairs was very much a commitment to just crashing through the songs as we recorded them, like four people in a room.\" https://bit.ly/2YhwVTv", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
