Broken Record

Over the past several years, the Denver band has gone from DIY basement emo project to a full-fledged indie rock band. After touring the west coast and writing a new album, recording presented an interesting dilemma: do we continue our do-it-yourself approach or should we try something new?

For this newest album, their third LP, the band enlisted the help of Justin Pizzoferrato (Dinosaur Jr., Wild Pink, Dazy) to produce and engineer.  

Routine is about that urge for something better, and recognizing that the status quo has to change. Whether it’s someone else capitalizing on your work (“Do It Yourself”), the impossibility of retirement (“No Vacation”), or recognizing your own faults (“Nervous Energy”), the ideal world is right there if small steps are made. On Routine, Broken Record are willing to take those small steps but they’re also remembering that you can still be “DIY” even if you can’t do it all yourself.
