Recording
Some Kind of Zombie was recorded in 1997 at Ardent Recordings on Memphis and Shakin' Studios on Franklin. Recording was in charge of producer John Hampton, with Jason Latshaw and Matt Martone. Mixing was done by Skidd Mills. The album included a remix of the title song called "Some Kind of Zombie (Criscoteque Remix)", which was produced by Scott Humphrey. This track is not available on the audiocassette release of the album. A "Chevette (Remix)" can be found on the compilation album WoW 1999.
The album is the first album of the band without Barry Blair, although he collaborated in the writing of the title song, as well as recording the guitars to it. Blair was replaced by guitarist Tyler Burkum. It is also the first album to officially list Ben Cissell as the band's drummer. The song "Blitz" features members of Christian ska band The O.C. Supertones, including Matt Morginsky as a guest vocalist.

Famous quotes containing the word recording:
“He shall not die, by G—, cried my uncle Toby.
MThe ACCUSING SPIRIT which flew up to heaven’s chancery with the oath, blush’d as he gave it in;—and the RECORDING ANGEL as he wrote it down, dropp’d a tear upon the word, and blotted it out for ever.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“I didn’t have to think up so much as a comma or a semicolon; it was all given, straight from the celestial recording room. Weary, I would beg for a break, an intermission, time enough, let’s say, to go to the toilet or take a breath of fresh air on the balcony. Nothing doing!”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“Too many photographers try too hard. They try to lift photography into the realm of Art, because they have an inferiority complex about their Craft. You and I would see more interesting photography if they would stop worrying, and instead, apply horse-sense to the problem of recording the look and feel of their own era.”
—Jessie Tarbox Beals (1870–1942)
