Flock of Dimes – Head of Roses

In this 2021 Reddit AMA Jenn talks about gear on the Head of Roses album:

Synth-wise, this is the session where I fell absolutely in love with the Moog Matriarch, my favorite new synth in ages. It's both versatile and limited, so it's a total idea factory. Such a huge percentage of the synth sounds on the record came from here.

I sang through a Warm Audio 251 mic, which I borrowed from Adam Schatz and later ended up buying for myself because I LOVE it...

We spend a lot of time on the reverbs on this one...we used the OTO Bam a lot and a bunch of cool chippy verbs from the Eventide H3000 harmonizer. A lot of the reverbs were printed as performances that were "played" by hand, which was fun.

And of course Sandy's modular rig was highly involved--I'm a eurorack baby and he's a full wizard but I use the Make Noise Morphagene a lot for weird pads/glitches/sounds...

2. The building's burning down - what one guitar do you save?

"Probably my '60s-era semi-hollow body Harmony Rocket - because it was a gift from a friend, and because it's old and beautiful and difficult to replace!"

Music Radar, "Wye Oak's Jenn Wasner: 'With a guitar you can make it into anything you want. It’s endlessly variable'" by Matt Parker (April 9, 2018)

“One of my favourite guitars that I have was a gift from a friend, years ago - it’s a Harmony Rocket, a semi-hollow-bodied guitar from the '50s that is just gorgeous. The song You Of All People has sort of a distinctly different vibe to it and that was something I wrote on the Harmony as opposed to one of the Reverends.”

What were you using on the guitar side for this record?

“Well, one of the guitars that I use a lot on this record was actually a guitar that I've owned for a really long time. It is this old, beautiful semi-hollow body Harmony Rocket. It's got the Bigsby tremolo and it's absolutely gorgeous, but it was just never the right guitar for the moment.

And was there anything else that you leaned on a lot in this record?

“For Price Of Blue, it was like a multitude of guitars! I used Nick's dad's '80s Strat for the lead guitar on the guitar solo. And the Harmony was layered in. And also my Reverend model that they made it for me, I used that a bunch on that – I can't say enough good things about Reverend as a company, I love their guitars.

ChristmasInJuly Tell us about your gear (guitar/synth/vocals)! Was there anything essential you used for Head of Roses? Any recording tips/secrets that happened at Betty’s? :)

heyitswaz Guitar-wise, I mostly played my harmony rocket semi-hollow body guitar, and of course my signature Reverend JW-1.
