Song: "Mechanical Mammoth"
Album: Mystical Weapons
"I met Sean when Deerhoof opened for Plastic Ono Band and we got
along so fine that when he needed a local opener for Ghost Of A Saber
Tooth Tiger's San Francisco show one time, he said 'Why don't we do an
improv duo?'" Greg Saunier tells Rolling Stone. "We had such a good time. Sean is an instant composer."
When Lennon invited the Deerhoof drummer to record in upstate New
York, the pair emerged with a whole album. "Every song turned out
different from the next," Saunier says. "'Mechanical Mammoth' started
because Sean's friend had brought this antique monstrosity of
a synthesizer. Sean's real touchy-feely, and by that I mean he couldn't
keep his hands off the many dials, knobs and levers of this crazy thing.
Within seconds it sounded to my expert ears like a song. Like I said,
instant composer. Even when working in microtones. I started hitting
some upstate pots and pans and minutes later we knew we were going to
have to send our hit jam to Rolling Stone!"
