Our recording techniques have been the same for our 3 records so far. We record in a home studio onto tape, live drums and guitar. Then discard the scratch guitars, bring out the tube amps and bass, and pile on the riffs. Vocals are kind of secondary for us. I'm pretty sure every other band records similarly. I think we are going to try a whole new approach for our next project though.
My own moods are generally just various and random if not fucked up. I'm usually pessimistic and paranoid about the world at large and resentful of my place in it. Like a good Midwesterner though i tend to keep it bottled up and stoic and just live in the immediate frame and focus on what i have some control of and responsibility for. Much Worse's music to me at least attempts to express a more exquisite panic, terror or paranoia then perhaps previous bands have been able to pull off. These feelings come, I suppose from some painfully realized and humanistic perspective on mortality and our increasingly fragile reality. But I really only wanted to create futuristic sounding punk rock, apocalyptic but casual. Its not as if no one hasn't heard a fast punk band before. Personally Im more into discovering new "moods" as you put it, then just expressing my own pedestrian bullshit. You gotta aim higher, as they say...
