After a day of jamming and recording, the two went to a restaurant and Adams unveiled his plan.
He said, Were going to cover1989.
It was very much OK, thats what were going to do.
But the high-profile project began with Adams work onMusic For Listening To Music To.
When Wisenbaker and Goodman began planning the album, they naturally tapped Adams to produce it.
From there the pieces fell into place.
We were just like, Lets go forMeat Is Murder-era Smiths,' Goodman recalls.
That was our initial bond.
What we have most in common is an undying appreciation of the Smiths.
Its a throwback to those 60s records, Wisenbaker says.
It sounds like a silly title, but theres meaning behind it.
I got like a million Instagram followers, which is cool, he quips.
They were just, like, guitar dorks.
It was a very cool experience.
