A Song A Week 25: The Bad Felt – ABCs of the Swamp

Friday, June 25th, 2010

It’s time for another Bad Felt song, and here one is. This song ended up very different than I originally pictured it, but I’m pretty happy with it. The lyrics are deceptively difficult, but Bren still managed to get a good final take in less tries than it took me to do serviceable [...]
