====August 1998 sessions==== | |||
"Trampoline" is a [[Hiatus Demos|hiatus-era recording]], initially recorded in August of [[1998]] at Mouse House Studios in Los Angeles, engineered by Rich Mouser. This same session produced "[[Velouria]]", released on the ''[[Where Is My Mind? A Tribute To The Pixies]]'' album in [[1999]]. However, as [[Karl Koch]] notes in the recording histroy, "Apparently the 'non-Velourias' didn't come out too good. This is apparently due to the songs being somewhat unfinished at the time of recording." | |||
The recording history originally noted two takes being recorded at this session: a "sped up" version and a "normal" version. After several years, these notes were removed, with only one take being listed. It's possible differing "normal" and "sped up" arrangements existed on other tapes from this era, and it's not known which arrangement was the released one. | |||
====''Death to False Metal''==== | |||
The 1998 recording was revisited for the ''Death to False Metal'' album, with additional overdubs added to the track in [[2009]] or [[2010]]. According to Rivers, a new bridge and guitar solo section were added, with the backing vocals seemingly being a recent addition as well. The bass track was redone by current [[Weezer]] bassist [[Scott Shriner]] to reflect the revised song structure (the original recording featured [[Mikey Welsh]] on bass). | |||
====Inspiration==== | |||
In a [[Indecision and Abandoning the Past|2011 interview]], [[Karl Koch]] states, "But then there were the more slow tempo 'big huge [[Oasis]] rock' style songs, like 'Trampoline' I think." Rivers was known to have been studying Oasis' songs in the late 90s in an attempt to further refine his songwriting. | |||
