The Pod (location)

The Pod is the name given by Ween to an apartment on a horse farm in New Hope, PA where they lived in the early 90s. The Pod was the primary location for the recording of their albums The Pod (1991) and Pure Guava (1992).

Details

• Andrew Weiss:

For [The Pod and Pure Guava], Mickey and Aaron recorded on the 4-track at the Pod, which was a shack they lived in on this horse farm outside New Hope. They recorded all this shit and they would just give me, like, a bag of tapes, and I would just sift through it, pick out songs and mix them and sequence the record.

• Dean Ween:

And then we moved, and then the next two records [The Pod and Pure Guava) is when we got the 4-track and we were living in this tiny apartment. We had to get a drum machine because we couldn't even fit a kit in there, and the neighbors would have gone insane. So our sound just completely changed . . . . People started calling us lo-fi, and you know, experimental and all that, but it was just out of necessity.
