Nina credits producers Gabriel Gonzalez (a former guitarist besthookupwebsites.org/pl/spiritual-singles-recenzja for Sparta) and Greg Collins (whose production credits include U2 and No Doubt) with helping her dial in her guitar tone.

“`Collins is` an awesome producer,” says Phanie. “He kind of opened up our minds into experimenting with different stuff and upped us as musicians.”

“It’s kind of like that part in Clueless where they fix the teacher real quick and make the teacher look cute. Collins also contributed slide-guitar overdubs to some songs.

“And for me, I’m really like, ‘Oh these are my bass lines, don’t touch them, don’t think about it,’” says Alva. “I think he got that vibe from me … He took what I wrote, but then we kind of just thought about pauses, and accents, and stroking, so that was really cool.”

She also swings a mean ax – still an all-too-rare feat in the male-dominated rock world – alternately complimenting her smooth vocals with melodic, chiming accents and giving them a jagged edge with rapid, angular riffage. The tight rhythm section Alva and Phanie form behind Nina aggressively propels the songs through their many tempo and stylistic shifts.
