Somewhere in the beginning of 2002, Ui—Clem, Wilbo, Erik Sanko and I—wrote the song "Answers." There was never a discussion about the song; it formed quickly and never needed much arranging. Playing it was something of a purge, and could go on for at least twenty minutes. We were rehearsing in a Fort Greene carriage house that had been a thermometer factory in the early twentieth century before going residential. (The house is about five blocks from where I grew up, but that's purely coincidence.) This version of the song was recorded at Bryce Goggin's Trout Studios in Brooklyn. The rest of the album was recorded in a church in upstate New York that Bryce owned, though I don't think he does any more.
