AFI (The Blood Album) is the band’s first for Concord Records, and the first to be produced by guitarist Jade Puget, and co-produced by Matt Hyde. “It was a major evolution for me to step up into a producer role on this album, something that’s been germinating for a while,” says Puget. “It’s daunting to spend a year grinding it out in the writing room with Davey [Havok] and then turn around and produce what you’ve just written, but it was liberating in an artistic sense to guide the album from gestation to final product.”
As for working with Matt Hyde, Puget says, “Matt and I gelled really well and our approaches on recording dovetailed. He’s a great producer and was open to doing things differently than he normally would with no ego. For instance, I engineered, tracked, and produced all the vocals with just Davey and I in the room while we were tracking drums, which is an odd but very efficient way to make a record, and he was totally open to that. He was a great co-producer.”
