Studio recording

The album was recorded in 2015 in the old house of Jett Rebel in Soesterberg on a four-track Tascam Portastudio cassette recorder. This was the first time Rebel recorded an album with analog technology. In this period of recording, experimenting, and the pleasure he experienced, he decided never to record digitally again. The title of the album came about in New York. Rebel was in November 2015 for a ten-day tour in New York, during an annual Live in Your living Room festival. [2] The album was initially to be called Trucker's Towel. But once they arrived in New York and with the obvious sources of inspiration and signals Rebel received, the decision was made to go for the title Truck.
