| The Mother, the Mechanic, and the Path is The Early November's |
| second studio album. The triple disc concept album was released on |
| July 11, 2006, via Drive-Thru Records. |
| |
| Production |
| The recording of the album began on February 28, 2005, and took |
| over a year until its completion due to the nature of a triple |
| disc record, stress, Enders changing the concept of the story |
| several times mid-record, and ultimately the lack of focus which |
| led to a mid-recording nervous breakdown. This forced the album's |
| release to be postponed from its original June 2005 street date to |
| July 2006. The third disc, The Path, was written by Enders and |
| Jeff Kummer, and co-produced by Enders. According to an interview |
| with Enders on Episode 17 of the Voice & Verse Podcast, there were |
| multiple versions of the story that were recorded and considered. |
| Though the first version to be submitted to Drive-Thru Records was |
| not immediately accepted, the label was supportive and asked that |
| some changes and additional work be done. In the end, it was |
| Enders and those artistically involved with writing and presenting |
| the story who ultimately re-worked the story and its presentation |
| multiple times before it became the final product, despite rumors |
| that Drive-Thru Records had turned down the story seven times for |
| quality control issues before finally approving it. Enders also |
| did the artwork for The Mother, the Mechanic and the Path, drawing |
| up a father in a mechanics uniform named Matt, a mother and a son |
| named Dean, for the cover and booklet. |
| |
| Recording took place at Portrait Recording Studios in Pompton |
| Plains, New Jersey, with Enders and Chris Badami producing the |
| sessions. Badami also mixed and engineered the recordings. He was |
| assisted by Michelle Dispenziere and Paul Spinella. Several people |
| contributed to the recordings: David Rimelis (string and horn |
| arrangements, nylon guitar and banjo), Arthur Fiacco (cello), |
| Elizabeth Hostetter (viola), Andrea Schultz (violin), Angela |
| Cordell (French horn), Richard Dispenziere (trumpet), Peter |
| McGuinness (trombone), Kenny Sorenson (harmonica), Brian O'Neal |
| (Roark) and Lynsie Crespo (background vocals), and Badami (piano |
| and percussion). George Marino mastered The Mechanic disc and Greg |
| Calbi mastered The Mother disc, both at Sterling Sound in New York |
| City. Badami mastered The Path disc at Portrait Recording Studio. |
| |
| Music and lyrical content |
| The concept album is broken down into three chapters: |
| |
| The Mechanic û the proclaimed "rock" disc of the album, showcasing |
| the heavier side of the band. According to singer/guitarist Ace |
| Enders, The Mechanic is the group's "safe bet", the album they |
| would have made if it had only been one disc. It represents the |
| technical progression from its predecessor The Room's Too Cold |
| (2003), hence the title. |
| The Mother û a mostly unplugged effort in the vein of The Early |
| November's The Acoustic EP (2003) and Enders' solo CD I Can Make a |
| Mess Like Nobody's Business (2004). The disc focuses on the band's |
| mellow facet, featuring a more natural sound, conveyed by the use |
| of predominantly acoustic instruments and few effects or filters. |
| The Path û an audio theatre of sorts, which mixes dialogue between |
| a young man named Dean and his psychiatrist with soft background |
| music. The psychiatry sessions that narrate the story are |
| interrupted by short "musical"-esque songs, also introducing the |
| interaction of other characters. The songs cover a wide range of |
| musical genres, including blues, country and folk. |
| |
| Release |
| On May 1, 2005, the Early November's next album was announced for |
| release in October that year. They band released a split single |
| with I Am the Avalanche that featured a demo of "Outside" and a |
| live version of "Ever So Sweet". Between October and December |
| 2005, the Early November supported Saves the Day and Senses Fail |
| on their co-headlining US tour. An EP, dubbed Selections from the |
| Forthcoming Triple Album, was posted on Downloadpunk.com in March |
| 2006; it featured "Decoration", "Hair", "The One That You Hated", |
| and a live video of "Sesame Shmesame". In March and April 2006, |
| the band supported Matchbook Romance and Silverstein on the Take |
| Action Tour. On April 15, 2006, The Mother, the Mechanic, and the |
| Path was announced for release in three months' time. "A Little |
| More Time" was premiered through AbsolutePunk on May 30, 2006. On |
| June 7, 2006, "Drive South" premiered through Fuse's website. The |
| Mother, the Mechanic, and the Path was made available for |
| streaming on July 2, 2006, before being released nine days later |
| through Drive-Thru Records. During the first weeks of sales, |
| purchases of The Mother, the Mechanic, and the Path from Best Buy |
| were accompanied by a bonus DVD (containing the music video to |
| "Hair" and a 35-minute making-of documentary), while Target |
| customers were rewarded with an exclusive bonus track. |
| |
| In mid-September, the band went on a UK tour alongside the |
| Starting Line and Anberlin. In October and November 2006, the band |
| supported New Found Glory on their headlining US tour. The music |
| video for "Decoration" was posted online on October 31, 2006. They |
| supported Fall Out Boy on their headlining US tour in January |
| 2007. On March 13, 2007, the band announced they would be going on |
| an indefinite hiatus following their touring engagements. In March |
| and April 2007, they went on a headlining US tour with support |
| from the Rocket Summer, MΩlΘe, and the Verdict. Following this, |
| the band appeared at The Bamboozle festival. |
| |
| As of January 2007, the band has sold 78,669 copies of The Mother, |
| the Mechanic, and the Path. In May 2014, the album was released on |
| vinyl through TDR Records. |
