WHITE DENIM LAST DAY OF SUMMER
SELF-RELEASED, 2010
A goodbye to the trailer, put out to spite their new record label PETRALLI: Almost all the songs from this I wrote around the time Fits was being finished. But we went in to make D before Last Day Of Summer. We delivered D to our new label after the basic tracking, and I remember the call – I sent it to them expecting them to say, “Great, this is amazing, can’t wait to put this out”, but they came back with, “We think this is underwritten.” I was devastated because I’d spent so much time writing it. So they sat on it for a while, like seven months, and they wanted me to write a single and then for us to cut it with a real working producer. Last Day Of Summer started like, “Well, they want a single, let’s record another
record of all these tunes and let them pick one that will go on D.” So that started as a group of 10 or 11 fullband demo recordings. We gave that to the label and I think they sat on that for another month, which really pissed us off, so our idea was to release the record for free, thinking that they would be so mad they’d drop us. And they didn’t drop us, I think they were happy that they got another record! We ended up doing “Drug” for D, that was the afterthought song for D.
TEREBECKI: I don’t know if we necessarily thought this was gonna be the last record we recorded at the caravan at the time. But either way, it ended up being our farewell to the trailer.
