\nJune 2014 outing Simplicity<\/em><\/a> \u2013 the seventh studio record proper by Sacramento, California-based hard rock outfit Tesla \u2013 was cut at J Street Recorders in the band\u2019s hometown, J Street Recorders being under the ownership of bassist Brian Wheat. Preceding the album\u2019s issue was \u2018Taste My Pain\u2019; a single release cut during a two-day recording session that occurred on June 5th-6th, 2013, \u2018Taste My Pain\u2019 surfaced through iTunes roughly two months later on August 13th.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had time for pre-production, to really prepare ourselves for going into the studio,\u201d reveals Jeff Keith, vocalist of Tesla. \u201cThings even change after you go through pre-production, and go into the studio; the song evolves even more so in the studio. Forever More<\/em> (October 2008) we recorded in Brian Wheat\u2019s studio that he had behind his house in downtown Sacramento. Unfortunately, there was a fire that burned the roof off of that place (on September 30th, 2010), so he rebuilt his studio ten blocks from his house, and changed things because he had the opportunity to do things differently. He built a nice little studio, and that\u2019s where we recorded \u2018Taste My Pain\u2019 and this new record, like you said. \u2018Taste My Pain\u2019 was just a single to be downloaded just towards the end of 2013.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an awesome studio; it\u2019s got a great vibe. Once again, it\u2019s all about being at a place that you feel comfortable with and has a great vibe. He has a very nice studio that really played a big part in making this new record. It used to be called J Street Recorders, but I\u2019m trying to think of what he calls it now… Jeez, I should know that, huh? He might\u2019ve changed the name of it. It used to be J Street Recorders because he was on J Street, but now that he\u2019s moved, he might\u2019ve changed the name. I love the studio, but I don\u2019t know the name of it (laughs).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe then did all of our pre-production back at Tom Zutaut\u2019s farm in Virginia. Tom had signed us to Geffen Records, and then worked with us on the first few records \u2013 so we definitely wanted to… We always stick to live basic tracks. When we\u2019re then adding tracks and doing overdubs, we\u2019re careful with not adding too much so that it can always be recreated live. We just wanted to go back to that old school feel, though, like the first three records, keeping it simple and keeping it raw and live. We feel that we hit the mark. We love the way it turned out, and just had fun with it \u2013 we just had a blast doing it. That\u2019s how we write songs; we like to have fun, and build it, and try everything, and give everything an opportunity. By the time it was said and done, we really loved the way that it all turned out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Keeping it simple\u2019 \u2013 to quote the frontman \u2013 is a comment reflected in the platter\u2019s title, although the sentiment didn\u2019t ultimately spawn the name Simplicity<\/em>. \u201cWe actually got the title Simplicity<\/em> from the song \u2018MP3\u2019, which talks about how we went from a phonograph record to an mp3 with all of today\u2019s technology,\u201d he divulges. \u201cWe definitely wanted to keep it simple, though. Especially these days with all of the technology, there\u2019s an unlimited amount of tracks and stuff that you can just stack upon and stack upon. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it then comes time to playing and performing it live though, it\u2019s like \u2018Uh oh, how are we gonna do this? We\u2019ve got 2,050 tracks.\u2019 It\u2019s really easy to get yourself in a hole, which sometimes people do. Then the next thing you know, they\u2019re rolling tape like in the old days, or like now, where they\u2019re playing stuff through the speakers via computer. We\u2019ve always been about no machines. Any time we write, we\u2019re always keeping in mind playing the song live, and how it will come across live. It\u2019s really easy to do all of these overdubs, and it sounds great. It maybe sounds big and thick and all that, but when it comes to playing it live, you don\u2019t have that \u2013 you\u2019ve just got the five members of the band. <\/p>\n

\u201cHey, nothing against the bands who play tracks via computer, or roll tape, or whatever. This is nothing against them, but we\u2019ve always been about no machines, and we\u2019re gonna stick with no machines. Even though we use some of today\u2019s technology like ProTools and all of that stuff, we\u2019re always careful to not overdo it. We like to keep ourselves under the impression that it\u2019s like a 24-track, two-inch reel, when you used to punch in and out with the two-inch tape and the 24 tracks. When you punched in, you punched out, and you had to be on. Nowadays, you can just record something, and then move it and slide it all around and stuff. We still try to keep with that reel feel of punching in and out, and just limit ourselves to not using too many tracks, making sure that anything that we write we can recreate live. We also make sure that everything that we do is straight from the heart, and definitely intend to keep it as simple as we can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Simplicity<\/em> includes overdubs. \u201cThere are certain overdubs that we\u2019ll do, and so absolutely,\u201d Jeff confirms. \u201cWhen we record a basic track, we\u2019ll record it with an overall feel of the feel was great and we captured a vibe. Sometimes we\u2019ll then come back and re-record everything, but always along to the rhythm track that we\u2019ve recorded, and so it always has that live feel. We\u2019re the kind of band that would just do it in one take, the way they used to do it in the old days, where they used to play it live on air or just have it like The Beatles with four tracks or something. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe feel that if it\u2019s a great song, it could be put out in any form. The way I feel is that a great song will come across, and hit you straight in the heart over a transistor radio. We always try to have that true, straight from the heart vibe when we write music, so we like to keep it real. But, absolutely. Whenever we go in to record, everything that I sing is a scratch vocal, so I definitely go back in and re-sing everything. <\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes some of the guitar players, and the bass player Brian, and Troy with the drums, they\u2019ll keep things that were from the initial basic track because it had such a great vibe to it. For me though, I do scratch vocals on not so good of a mike, and then when it comes time for me to record the vocals, we\u2019ll usually rent a good mike that sounds good with my voice \u2013 a particular mike. I\u2019m still capturing my performance from that first basic track though, that raw feel. We definitely use overdubs, but we\u2019re careful with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Albeit vocally strong on recorded output, many veterans cannot sing as greatly as they did 20-30 years ago in the live arena. \u201cGoing by the statistics, by numbers, sometimes some of them bands will sell 20 million records, but we would rather sell 2,000 and just keep it real,\u201d the lyricist ponders. \u201cThere\u2019s no autotune; if we\u2019re on or off on a particular night, then we\u2019re on or off, but we definitely, definitely want to keep it real and keep it as live as we can. We\u2019re out to find the success of how many records we can sell. We\u2019re out to write songs straight from the heart and from the gut, and that\u2019s what we\u2019ve always relied on. That\u2019s what we will always do, regardless of how many record sales we might do. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not about that; we\u2019re about no image, and not worrying about what clothes we\u2019re wearing, and just keeping it real \u2013 straight from the heart. The fanbase that we have is not as big as a lot of these other bands that sell millions of records, but we\u2019d rather have it small and simple and real than to try to do something that we probably couldn\u2019t pull off anyway. We\u2019re more of a blue-collar rock \u2019n\u2019 roll band, and that\u2019s all we\u2019re ever gonna try to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

2014 recording methods greatly contrast with recording methods prevalent in the 1980s. \u201cThere\u2019s definitely a different method,\u201d Jeff concurs. \u201cWhen we started, there was just a two-inch tape with 24 tracks, and so you couldn\u2019t shuffle things around. Not that we ever use it, but there\u2019s like Auto-Tune and all this kind of stuff. Definitely the technology of today, we use it, but we still try to base ourselves off of the first records we made, which were definitely the 24-track, two-inch tape which had a warmer feel. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Dave Rude joined the band in 2006, that\u2019s why we went to to this studio in Texas and did Reel To Reel<\/em> (June 2007), which were all cover songs that we grew up listening to. We did it on two-inch tape to go back to the first methods that we knew of, because tape is known to have that warmer feel and all that kind of stuff. Like I said, no matter what time period we\u2019re making a record, we always try to stick with those basic techniques, and always be careful that whatever tracks we\u2019re putting on. We can recreate it live, because playing live is where things really come across. That\u2019s what we love to do and that\u2019s what we\u2019re known for doing the most, is playing our music live. We\u2019re always careful with that new technology, because you can get yourself in a lot of trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tesla aren\u2019t an ensemble which heavily concentrates on single releases. \u201cEven today, we try to make a record that\u2019s a record as a whole, just like back in the early times,\u201d the singer cites. \u201cWhen we came out in the late 80s, people were still making records as a whole; you could put the record on, and listen to it from start to finish. We feel that with Simplicity<\/em>, we\u2019ve made a record that we love from start to finish. That\u2019s what we\u2019ve always started with, us writing songs that we love and making a record that we love in hopes that other people will love it too. <\/p>\n

\u201cJust incase nobody else likes it though, and they go \u2018I don\u2019t like it. I don\u2019t think it sounds very good,\u2019 at least we can say \u2018Well, the place that all of us started from is we made the record, and we like it.\u2019 You have every right to not like it, but we\u2019ve never tried to make a record to please or to sell it to any audience that\u2019s not really us. We\u2019ve always stayed true to who we are. We\u2019re a band from the 80s, from the hair band days. We\u2019re okay with that, and that\u2019s who we\u2019ll always be. We\u2019re not writing music to try to broaden our audience. We\u2019re just writing music that we\u2019re happy with, and we hope that our fans will be happy with. So far, we\u2019ve had pretty good luck with that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Working in co-operation with Tom Zutaut yet again was \u201cgreat,\u201d Jeff enthuses.\u201cTom has always been passionate about Tesla. He signed us to Geffen Records; when he signed us, he told us that we weren\u2019t ready to make a record, so to keep practising on our writing skills. It was like a year to a year and a half before we put out our first record (Mechanical Resonance<\/em><\/a>); he signed us in \u201985, and we put it out at the end of \u201986 (December). We followed his advice, and so he helped us hit the mark. We were really excited to work with him again, because he\u2019s really got a good, fine-tuned ear for when a certain vibe is captured. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s passionate about when he hears something, and he\u2019ll stick to it because that\u2019s what he feels in his heart. There were times when maybe we would\u2019ve changed certain parts of something, but he would really bring things to our attention and say \u2018Oh no, no. This vibe, you definitely captured here.\u2019 Instead of trying it again and trying to recapture that vibe, we already had it in the can. As opposed to us making a record on our own, it\u2019s always good to bounce off of somebody else, and Tom Zutaut\u2019s a great combination for Tesla to bounce off of. We went back to that first three records kind of mode, and we really had a blast making it with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s very passionate about songs and we are as well, so we were really excited to work with him again. I\u2019m hoping for the rest of our career that we always work with Tom, because he\u2019s a great guy to bounce ideas off of. He likes to keep it real and so do we, so we have a blast doing it. I can\u2019t wait to make another one with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tesla full-lengths one through four experienced issue through Geffen Records. In a 2014 interview conducted to promote Simplicity<\/em>, fellow member Brian Wheat was dismissive of Geffen, explaining how the quintet simply refused to issue a new greatest hits package via the label. \u201cThe music industry was definitely different,\u201d Jeff reflects. \u201cWith someone like Geffen Records, they gave us a lot of push and really helped us in a lot of ways. Today the music industry is totally different though; everybody\u2019s going on independent labels, and all that kind of stuff, and there\u2019s the downloads and all this kind of stuff. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole idea of making a good old-fashioned record is totally different. I don\u2019t know too much about the business end of it, but we ended up just making our own record label (Tesla Electric Company Recording) and doing everything ourselves. Brian Wheat and Frank Hannon (guitars) co-manage the band, and we\u2019re just happy with that \u2013 we\u2019re content with that. You don\u2019t get a lot of the big pushes that a record company can give you, but that\u2019s okay. It\u2019s a lot tougher to get a big record deal these days from what I understand, but we\u2019re just happy and content where we are.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Tesla Electric Company Recording oversees the distribution of Tesla outings in the North American territory, Frontiers handles European distribution. \u201cSee, I don\u2019t know too much about the business end of everything,\u201d the composer apologises. \u201cBut yeah, Frontiers Records is really a great company to work with, and we\u2019re really excited to be working with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jeff prefers to solely concentrate on the musical aspects of Tesla. \u201cAbsolutely,\u201d he agrees. \u201cI\u2019m better off just concentrating on rocking the mike, and writing songs from the heart. I never paid too much attention to the business side of it and that\u2019s okay, \u2019cos my other buddies in the band, they were keeping track of things and stuff. That\u2019s why Frank and Brian can co-manage the band the way they do, because they paid attention to certain aspects of the business. I don\u2019t know much. They just hand me the mike, and point me to the stage. That\u2019s what I\u2019m best doing, is just keeping it simple like that (laughs).\u201d<\/p>\n

On May 26th, 2014, it was disclosed that the publishing rights to Tesla\u2019s entire song catalogue had been acquired by Round Hill Music. \u201cThe guy that was interested in signing the deal with us just heard \u2018Love Song\u2019 (The Great Radio Controversy<\/em>, February 1989) one day,\u201d the vocalist shares. \u201cHe just thought \u2018Well hey, this kind of music is the kind of music that we need to get out there.\u2019 Next thing you know, we got a publishing deal, and they\u2019re really excited to work the catalogue. We\u2019re really excited about that; hopefully they\u2019ll be able to do things with our music and stuff, and we\u2019ll hear it out there. We\u2019re very excited about that, but once again, I don\u2019t know too much about that end of the deal and stuff. I know that they\u2019re very passionate about Tesla\u2019s music though, so that\u2019s what counts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Penning lyrics for Simplicity<\/em> was a group affair. \u201cOn especially Simplicity<\/em>, Frank and Dave helped me on a lot of the lyrics,\u201d Jeff elaborates. \u201cWhat I normally do is, we\u2019ll build the song musically, and then I\u2019ll capture my melody for the vocals. A lot of times, I\u2019ll come up with a storyline idea for a verse and a chorus, and then once I\u2019ve got the melody established and a good idea of how the vocal melody is laid out, those guys will help me fill in the blanks. At times they might come up with this great, poetic lyrical idea, but sometimes I\u2019ll have to say \u2018Well, wait a second. It has to be coming from me.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not exactly some poetic kind of guy, so as long as they keep it in the realm of I\u2019m the one who\u2019s selling the song with the vocals. They\u2019re good at that; they really helped me out a lot on this record by doing that. I couldn\u2019t have done without them. Back in the day, when they used to just give me music and I used to just write lyrics for it, we had more time to do it and stuff on the timeframe that we were on. I\u2019m glad that we weren\u2019t, because those guys really, really helped me come up with some great lyrics that I can feel as though are my own. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe 14th track for example \u2013 \u2018Til That Day\u2019 \u2013 was a song that we had recorded in the studio, and then we went and did the Monsters Of Rock Cruise. Me, Tom Zutaut and Brian Wheat came back to the studio, and finished recording that song. That song is about helping guide a child or something down a path, and letting them walk their own path. I\u2019m really close to that one, because it\u2019s just a simple song where the words came straight from the heart. There are songs that are really from the heart that Frank helped with though, like \u2018Life Is A River\u2019. I would just have a verse and a chorus, but the next thing you know, he changed the second verse that I wrote, and then helped me write the first verse, and then changed up the choruses. <\/p>\n

\u201cSomething like \u2018So Divine…,\u2019 Frank really was involved with me, with the lyrics, and then with something like \u2018Time Bomb\u2019, Dave was really involved with me, with the lyrics. One of them would help me on one particular song, and then the other one would help me on another particular song.\u201d<\/p>\n

In recording vocals, technical precision isn\u2019t the frontman\u2019s primary concern. \u201cFirst of all, I just try to sing in key,\u201d he chuckles. \u201cIf I can\u2019t, as long as it\u2019s reaching people, because I\u2019m a firm believer in it\u2019s the performance, and how you touch people, and are able to reach them. Some of my favourite inspirations, like Mick Jagger (The Rolling Stones), Bob Dylan \u2013 the list goes on \u2013 Bon Scott (AC\/DC), Steven Tyler (Aerosmith), Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin<\/a>). Like I said, the list goes on and on, but a lot of those people that have inspired me, they\u2019re not the kind of people that might win a talent contest, but they touched me in a certain way. I just like to feel that I\u2019ve captured a certain feeling, and not be too critical on it, too technical.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really easy to make it where I feel it\u2019s too sterile. Sometimes imperfections are the great nuances in a song that I think really capture people, so we definitely believe in capturing that nuance and not worrying about technically where it is. If it\u2019s a little off, it\u2019s just about how it hits home or not. Yeah, we\u2019ve never been what listeners could consider anal about something. We\u2019re more about capturing that vibe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Compositions like \u2018Cross My Heart\u2019, \u2018Other Than Me\u2019 and album swansong \u2018\u2019Til That Day\u2019 are more laid-back in demeanour, the numbers purposefully sequenced throughout Simplicity<\/em>\u2019s track listing. \u201cFrank and Tom and people like that, they were better at having ideas of what order the songs should be in; how it should open up, how it should end, and how it should be laid out in-between,\u201d Jeff accredits. \u201cIt kind of has that up and down, all-round feel, but for myself, I just love a great song. I\u2019m not too good at putting songs in order and stuff like that, but I really like the way they arranged the songs and how the record as a whole \u2013 from start to finish \u2013 catches all different kinds of feelings. I think they did a great job of arranging the songs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018So Divine…\u2019 is Simplicity<\/em>\u2019s lead track. \u201c\u2018So Divine…\u2019 was first inspired with the idea of this kid named Keith who was 22 years old,\u201d the wordsmith discloses. \u201cHe ended up getting killed in a car accident, so that was the first initial idea of writing the song, about losing somebody that you\u2019re close to much too soon in life. The whole idea then kind of just evolved into all of the people that we\u2019ve lost too soon, like some of our favourite artists, and some of our favourite people in life. The song just evolved into this thing that people actually see as somewhat spiritual, and we feel that it\u2019s spiritual to ourselves as well. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe had fun making the music video. We did it in this big American factory down in Oakland, California, and just had fun capturing a live performance. Then the director put in some nice touches, with a girl that\u2019s kind of like found an artist that she\u2019s very passionate about \u2013 the storyline ended up putting the two together. It was fun to make. Videos sometimes are a bit tough to make, because you\u2019re lip-syncing and all that. I try not to think about that stuff too much, and just have fun making it, and we had a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

A six-year gap separates Simplicity<\/em> and predecessor Forever More<\/em>. \u201cWe\u2019ve never been able to pull off an album every year, even an album every two years,\u201d Jeff observes. \u201cIt usually takes us three or four years to put one together, because between touring and writing and everything, we don\u2019t mean for it to be that long of a span of time between records. We just like to release nothing until we feel good about it, like with Forever More<\/em>. We worked with Terry Thomas, who worked with us on Bust A Nut<\/em> (August 1994), but the difference between Forever More<\/em> and Simplicity<\/em> is we didn\u2019t have pre-production time for Forever More<\/em>. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe made it a point to have plenty of pre-production time, and to really put all of the time we needed into making the record that we wanted to make. That\u2019s what we feel came out with Simplicity<\/em>. We made time for pre-production; we were well prepared for the songs, and so by the time we went into the studio, we had a good idea of how we wanted to record it. Like I said, sometimes you go into the studio and things will change, and you can go in a little different direction. We always try to make sure that everybody around the campfire\u2019s happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ideas exist for further material, but whether these aforementioned ideas surface on future Tesla output is uncertain. \u201cSometimes we\u2019ll go back to older ideas and stuff or earlier demos, but there were a couple of tracks that me and Frank wrote probably a couple of years ago in this garage when it was 110 degrees, like \u2018Honestly\u2019 and \u2018Burnout To Fade\u2019,\u201d the singer notes. \u201cA lot of times when certain songs and certain demos don\u2019t make it on the record though, more often than not we don\u2019t usually go back to them. We just try to come up with new ideas and stuff, but there were a couple of older ones that made it onto this new record. I was happy to see that.\u201d<\/p>\n
