If we hadn’t, who knows if this would have gotten done at all. At the engineering helm was our lifelong friend Tim Phillips, who engineers all of our records.ĮDGE: What was the process like in putting “The Last Resort” together? Firstly, when did you start in on it, and, yeah, how did things unfold? What were the goals?ĭrouin: Thank goodness we recorded the full drums and bass as bed tracks in Boston just before the lockdown began.

Over the couple of months putting the record together, we assembled a huge cast of musicians to bring the vision to life including John Funkhouser, Jon Persson, Emily Garcia, Jordan Holt, Matt Pynn, Chris Plante, Seth Campbell, Adam Saylor, Andrew Fogliano, and of course the core members Aaron Zaroulis, Geoff Pilkington, Eric Reingold and myself. I’d certainly love to perform it one day in its entirety along with the film. Is there more to it than the record? I know things are weird right now, but, is there a theatrical component to this?ĭrouin: In the tradition of great concept records of the past like “The Wall,” “Tommy,” “Ziggy Stardust,” and “Thick As A Brick,” I really just wanted to tell the story in as rad a way as possible.
