Mammas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Fascists

Amalia Rubin and I just recorded this song: Mammas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Fascists

It was my first time in a professional recording studio, and I had a great time.

We had a spectacular outdoor take for the video, but my camera cut out (due to low battery) two-thirds of the way through. I can't complain, though: We still have a good video. (And the outdoor one, while very pretty with snow falling on us, had a couple of cars drive by in the background. So it's not like we lost a perfect take.)

That is pretty damn faboo. Love it!

That came out way more in-genre sounding than I would have predicted! I Googled whether Amalia had a background in country music, and apparently "not especially". I think she really nailed the vocal style.

Thanks!

She sings in somewhere from fifteen to eighteen languages (I've heard both figures), only about seven of which she is fluent in. I think doing country is not that much of a challenge in comparison.

Edit: The number of languages is seventeen.
