Flavour of the Day Knocks Over the Glass on 'Dark and Stormy'

Philipp Fischerlehner built this off the back of long road trips, empty bottles, and a flanger stompbox dialed up too high. The rhythm track started clean on the fretboard before getting dragged through just enough gain to rattle the low end. It all stumbles forward until the final lead kicks in, pulling off an erratic, unhinged solo that sounds like it was tracked in a single sweaty take.
