Description
Code Pie began in the mind of singer and full- blown graphic design geek Enzo Palermo. Contacting guitar player Salvatore Ciolfi through an Internet ad, the two began writing songs together in the winter of 2002. Focused initially on electronic minimalism, as well as the post-rock sound that was at the time synonymous with Montreal, the duo enlisted Senzafine drummer Vince Varano and bass playing writer Michel Semienchuck (who Ciolfi met at a book reading).
Trumpet player Eva Boodman and cellist Rebecca Lessard soon followed, and the minimalism that had interested the group early on turned pop/rock. Toying briefly with the name, "Three Wops, two Jews and a Ukrainian," the suddenly six-piece band (at the urging of a frightened Palermo) settled on Code Pie, a term used by computer and web programmers.
Recording the album for $700, the songs on This Habit were captured with rented microphones and a portable recording machine manned by Nick Sifoni, of DMP. Drum, bass and guitar tracks were recorded live on two separate occasions in late 2004, in the auditorium of Varano's former high school.
Vocal and overdub work continued in the months that followed, with the group convening in numerous locations around Montreal (including Palermo's office and the family homes of Ciolfi, Lessard and Varano) to complete the album.
Code Pie hopes you like it, and they discourage everyone from using digital recording machines.
