Stellastarr* put "Sweet Troubled Soul" on Harmonies for the Haunted, their 2005 album, and the credits tell a tidy story. David Schiffman handled nearly the whole job himself, producing the track, recording it and mixing it, with Jay Goin assisting on the mix and Peter Doris adding extra engineering. One set of ears from the first take to the final balance tends to keep a record of a piece, and the title tells you where its heart lies: somewhere bruised, and not shy about saying so.
Rock radio held on to it longer than you might expect, with countdowns still turning it up nearly a decade later.
