‘More Scared Of You Than You Are Of Me,’ the eagerly awaited follow up to 2014's breakthrough album, ‘Throw Me In The River,’ was written while the band traversed the globe playing music and making friends in countless countries.
Recorded in the picturesque surrounds of Stinson Beach, California at Panoramic House, the record also features a world class cast behind the desk. The sessions were produced by longtime friend and collaborator Jeff Rosenstock, engineered by Jack Shirley (Joyce Manor, Deafheaven, Hard Girls), mixed by John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., The Hold Steady) and mastered by Greg Calbi (Bob Dylan, Ramones, Bruce Springsteen).
“The “get shitfaced now, ask questions later” nature of The Smith Street Band’s punky sound remains untarnished, but is a bit more streamlined than in the past. The production is slicker, with moments like the bombastic intro riff to “Suffer” sounding fit to play in giant arenas instead of the dingy pubs Wagner so often sings about.” – sputnikmusic.com
