Agreed. I believe they were recorded as a band rather than individual tracks. The rawness gives it an old Jamaican recording sound, which IMO, fits perfectly with the song.
Great try Joel....haha. I thought for sure we'd get Chuck to unknowingly convert with this one 🤣 There's just no getting it past him though. Chuck knows, even when he doesn't know 🤣 To speak to your point about a "live" feel...there's a very good possibility that this was recorded live in the studio, which just means the whole band was in one room together playing and recording the full song all at once instead of tracking each instrument individually and layering them later in the mix. I think they purposefully went with a raw feel too because it pays homage to the low budget underground ska and reggae that Tim and Jesse would have grown up listening to from the 50s/60s/70s.
Yes, agreed that the raw lo-fi sound is deliberate and a tribute to the ska from the old days. Certainly not the first time a modern ska band has done that.

Dude, I really thought I'd get him on this. 🤣 and this sound has really grown on me. Definitely reminds me of Op Ivy-Joel
It’s lint and Jessie opivy. It’s tasty and early first wave ska. ✌️
First Wave Ska came out of Jamaica in the late 1950's
@@chrismurphy5927 I think they’re referring to the sound but it’s actually a reggae sound not a ska sound
I love the song!
