Craig Finn / Clear Heart / The Making Of
These are the fun ones. We got to spend a day in the studio while Craig Finn of The Hold Steady was recording his first solo album. Then we brought him over to Beefy’s back yard and did one of the nicest interviews of the year. He was so articulate about his writing process, his reasoning for making a solo album and the amount of trust he had to have with his producer for this project to come to life.
We’ve listened to the album and you should too. You can get it here.
The shot of the flag waving was the first thing we ever shot on our new Epic Camera from Red.
Craig was recording in the same studio with the same producer who records Spoon. PS. it’s dump.
The artwork for the cover is an actual flag designed by Christian and sewn by his sister-in-law. If you are interested in some of the coolest custom flags visit Standard Grit.
This is the first video that we’ve done with Craig but Christian designed The Hold Steady’s last album and Andrew did the cool photography for it. Check it out here.
