For the first episode of Songs from Monmouth County, we talk about the Home44 demo and how that became “Home”. Nick and Guy discuss the demo process at home, a producer’s vision, and fighting the urge to leak your songs at all times. Plus it wouldn’t be a conversation between Guy and Nick without mention of Neutral Milk Hotel.
