Hey Trevor! Got a fair amount of questions for ya, and I hope that's okay:
1. "Disco Volante", unless I got an odd pressing of the album, seems to be mixed a fair bit quieter than the other Bungle records. Was this intentional?
2. Is that you doing the "dododo"'s with the bassline in certain parts of the secret song on that album? And were you intentionally imitating Abe Simpson and Donald Duck at other parts?
3. A rumor used to exist online that "Hypocrites" was the only song that Trey did lead vocals on, is that really him singing lead on the old tape?
4. Have you ever lent your vocals to any Bungle song, and if so, where? I always get curious if any of the backing vocals are you

MY ANSWER:

1. Don’t remember. It’s a different mastering engineer. It’s was also probably the most difficult to work with being so dynamic. I leave that job to the experts.
2. No, that’s Patton doing the vocal doubling of that part. I was not going for Abe Simpson, more of just an old man in general, but yeah, it came off that way.
3. Yes it is. Part of the concept following the lyric “we’re hypocrites but we’re not hypocrites” was switching instruments. So on the original demo that’s me on guitar, Patton on bass, Trey on vocals.
4. No real harmonies as I recall.
