Recording and production
Gonzo was recorded, in its entirety, in a single room in Chicago, Illinois and produced by Steve Albini. The majority of the instrumentals and vocals on the album were recorded in the same room at the same time; only one overdub was used on the entire record.[2][3] When asked why Foxy Shazam decided to record with Steve Albini, lead singer Eric Nally stated that they chose Albini because, "he's really the only person around nowadays on his level who just records. He doesn’t try to stick his hands in any creativeness. He just captures what you’re doing, in a really amazing way."[3]
