This week, Luke Bentham of The Dirty Nil sits in to break down the writing and recording of their 2018 single "That's What Heaven Feels Like," a punchy, riff-driven anthem from the album Master Volume. Luke shares the clear memory of writing the song and talks about drawing inspiration from classic rock icons like Queen and Joan Jett, while also staying true to the band’s raw, high-energy identity. He discusses working with producer John Goodmanson to refine the arrangement without compromising the band's vision, dialing in powerful Les Paul/Marshall tones, and intentionally leaving the guitar solo unpolished to preserve its edge. From lyrical themes that capture the thrill of nightlife to unique vocal arrangements and harmonies, this episode offers a great look into a track that helped define a new era for The Dirty Nil.
