Aaron Dessner Instagram – Listen to @bigredmachineadjv’s ‘Easy to Sabotage (feat. @naeem)’ and watch the new video directed by @michaelbrowndesign at the link in my bio.
I made the original music for Easy to Sabotage in a hotel room in Chicago during the National’s Easy to Find tour in 2019. And BRM jammed this song… which is built around a riff that is fun to play over and over… multiple times in 2019. We recorded the performances at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn and the Hollywood Palladium and I was able to combine the bootlegs with studio recordings to make this song, sort of like a latter day Grayfolded. @naeemjuwan later added his incredible verses which somehow feel like they were always meant to be woven with @blobtower’s live vocals. @james_krivchenia, @jt_bates_ and @jasontreuting all contribute drumming and @arsononly added processing. Easy to Sabotage reminds me of the exhilaration and freedom of performing BRM songs live, which hopefully we will get to do next year some.
From our new album “How Long Do You Think It’s Gonna Last?” out now on @37d03d / @jagjaguwar.
