'beta love' marks ra ra riot's first outing as a four-piece. inspired by their lean new lineup (with wes miles on vocals, milo bonacci on guitar, mathieu santos on bass and rebecca zeller on violin), the recording process found the band members expanding and re- defining their roles within the new makeup of the group. they built upon demos created mostly by miles and producer dennis herring (modest mouse, elvis costello, wavves) at sweet tea studios in oxford, ms. joined by session drummer josh freese (devo, nine inch nails, weezer) the band enjoyed exploring its potential, experimenting with new influences and exciting sounds. mathieu said of the sessions, "making the record was a lot of fun for us, because we were in a completely different environment, trying a completely new approach. we'd been used to arriving at a session with every song totally arranged and figured out, but in oxford, a lot of the creative decision-making happened in the studio, on the fly. we wanted to be outside of our collective comfort zone for this record. we wanted to be open to new things happening. there was a lot of building up and tearing down with dennis - a lot of problem solving, a lot of trial and error, and that was really exciting for us".
