I didn't do much of that on Middle Angst, as most of the songs didn't really call for big multi-part vocals, but that is something I love. Unless I have a vocal arrangement in mind that calls for a lot of voices, then I'll do vocals earlier with a guide guitar track, and bounce all the extra vocals down to one or two tracks, and add everything else afterward. After that I usually add guitars, bass, any other extra stuff (keys/percussion/etc), then vocals. I play the song on drums as I would on guitar or any other instrument, meaning it's a performance dependent on the dynamics of the song structure with fills and all, as opposed to just playing a beat and editing it later. There's no click track or anything that forces me to have the song arranged and as fully-realized as it can be before even thinking about recording it. I record the drums first, I've always worked that way. They rule.Ģ) About the newly released LP, what can you tell about the recording process? Please tell us about your working process? Do you start with the drums and the bass and then the guitars and finally the vocals? The live band is Dan Bornemann on bass (a friend since high-school, he convinced me to move here), Josh Labbus on guitar, and Paul Kennedy on drums.

Plus these guys share a similar energy to me when we're playing we are loud and we let it rip. There's something great about playing with a group of close friends.
I happen to have some great friends who are also fantastic players, and they like the music I make. It's how I'm comfortable working, but I love playing live as well.

In spite of that, one of my goals is to always make it sound like a full band is playing the songs, not just one guy overdubbing everything. I write the songs, perform all the parts, and record & mix everything myself. I think I'm more comfortable presenting Rocket Bureau recordings as a band as opposed to a solo act. I had a great working relationship with The Midwest Beat for so long that I ended up playing keys with them for live shows, including a European tour. Besides locals, I've recorded a lot of bands from Milwaukee and elsewhere, including The Midwest Beat, Fox Face, Phylums, and Hughes Family Band.
I've played different instruments in a bunch of bands (The Motorz, The August Teens, The Arkoffs, The God Damns, Earl Foss & The Brown Derby, etc), and I run an analog recording studio out of my basement. I've been based in Madison, WI for almost 20 years. Rocket Bureau is both a solo recording project for my songs, and a live band with my friends. Hello! I'm Kyle Urban, I'm a musician and recording engineer. Analog, of course! Read all about it here!ġ) For the viewers of this blog who would not know you, What would you tell about Rocket Bureau to introduce yourself? Do you feel more confortable to present yourself as a "band" rather that an solo artist? All recorded on his own in Kyle's Madison, Wisconsin basement studio.
Pop hooks a plenty, crunchy guitars and pounding Keith Moon-esque drums. Behind that moniker is KYLE URBAN, who can play pretty much every music instrument, and does so on this brilliant album.
