Mosquito Nets was mostly recorded in one day in May of 2006. It was then taken apart and slowly reassembled by Farhad and Martin over the course of the next 6 months. The tape echo came out, the reverb tank poked its head in, all sorts of toys joined in the piece by piece reworking of the initial live demos. What began as a quick day to lay out some ideas turned into leisurely tinkering until everything was just so.

Both Dream Syndicates come to mind as possible founts of inspiration for this record, but in the end, picking out soundalikes seems futile. This is a pop record, first and foremost, and one that draws from its influences rather than just quoting them.
