Listen to Location, Location, Location's debut, Damaged Goods, and it's easy to visualize the three musicians sweating it out in the recording studio, locking in on a groove and just jamming. With, it should be noted, occasional breaks to contemplate the basics, then add subtle overdubs: some bit-crunched guitar here, a marimba there, perhaps a harmonized line or a spacey reverb effect. But essentially live, essentially just three guys in a room, giving their all. But that's not how it went down at all.

Recorded during the darkest days of Covid-19, Damaged Goods is actually the ultimate pandemic project, as the three musicians were socially distant during the recording project. "Everybody listened really deeply, and nobody tried to put a certain personality on it," Pride says. "We were just experimenting, and then at the end we liked what we had, and we had a record."
