Aux sombreros de la mere...

Again, this is a song I used to play accoustic.

This is by Noir Desir, who could be the best rock band in French history.

When doing it, I was struck by the importance of the bass line. I started as usual by programming the drums, in 3/4 and did a quick guitar track on it, to lay down the structure. It was all quite dull.
Then I recorded the bass track and suddently the song started to swing...
It was all in the bass...

I got to use my harmonicas as well. I didn't actually really listened to what they were doing in the original track (I think they use a different type of harmonica anyway), so I just improvised. It's quite easy to do with that instrument and it's more fun.
