totally rad unconventional recording spaces for totally meaningful indie bands (besides a church)

God, that must have been a dream though. I can't google anything up about it.

barns are ideal studios because they're huge open spaces with high ceilings, they're far away from other neighbors, and it's presumably cheaper to be out of the city. you're not supposed to "smell the hay" ffs.

Between the embargo on old-tymey locations such as barns and converted churches, and inflections of wantrepreneurship in bobo locations such as bedrooms and dorms, you're not leaving a lot of places for people to get their recordings done.

Approved locations for album-making include funeral homes, soup kitchens, Eastern bloc recording studios, active army bases, outer space,

and let me tell you, getting a good room sound when you're 20m miles away from Earth's atmosphere is HELL.

Nowadays, the least conventional place for a totally meaningful indie band to record is a recording studio.
