I wrote Get Dumber in Jeffs basement.
I was house sitting for him while he was on tour, Pups Stefan Babcock shared in a statement.
I recorded the first demo for it on his guitar using his mics and his computer.
Pup + Jeff Rosenstock share new single “Get Dumber.”Nestor Chumak
It only took them two takes to get it right.
We recorded the vocals together, in the same room, facing each other, Babcock said.
On the first take, he forgot a line in the second verse and said ahhhhhh, lyrics instead.
I couldnt finish the take because I was laughing too hard.
They ended up keeping it in place of the correct lyrics.
And we must admit, we completely stole this idea from Los Campesinos!
