We Miss The Earth – Memory Design
I’ve known Chris for a long long time. We met online back when I had my first band Alcian Blue and we’ve kept in touch over the years. He started We Miss The Earth a while back and Memory Design is hands down some of his best work. His wife Mistina is the other half of the… Continue reading We Miss The Earth – Memory Design
Radiator Greys – Denying The Other
I’m trying to remember the first time I met Josh Levi, but I can’t quite place it. I know it was a noise show and I know it was at Dr Clock’s Nowhere Bar in DC and I know we got on almost immediately. Josh is one of the head’s of Select DC, a group that… Continue reading Radiator Greys – Denying The Other
Exiles – Search Light EP
Exiles contacted me right at the end of the year so I was able to get one last mastering job in 2015 to round a great year of work out. Exiles is from New York and have been thrown around in the shoegaze genre but I think this new EP has a lot more post-punk… Continue reading Exiles – Search Light EP
Ars Phoenix – Lifetime Supply Single
I worked with Ars Phoenix on an EP this past summer (2015) that I think sounds fantastic for those into heavy cold darkwave. I don’t think the EP is out yet but it looks like a single emerged from it so I thought I would share that. Lifetime Supply (Single w/ B-Side) by Ars Phoenix
Wildhoney – Your Face Sideways
I’ve been privileged to work with Wildhoney again, one thing I enjoy about working with artists on multiple projects is that you kind of get to know what to expect from each other. Discussing music in critical terms is as subjective and nuanced as discussing music in general so when you get to work with… Continue reading Wildhoney – Your Face Sideways
Static Daydream LP
I’m very excited to announce the debut LP by Static Daydream is coming out on August 28 on Saint Marie Records and Moon Sounds Records. I worked on their EP both mixing and mastering and some of the tracks continue over to this LP where I also took on mastering duties with Paul. Below is… Continue reading Static Daydream LP
The White Cascade – Endless
A couple of years back, Screen Vinyl Image did a tour with Bloody Knives (see our split cassette that came out earlier this year), and our first stop was down in Raleigh NC with The White Cascade. I knew Matt from a shoegaze forum we both were on and one thing I dug about Matt… Continue reading The White Cascade – Endless
Expert Alterations – EP
I recently got to work on an excellent new EP by Baltimore’s Expert Alterations. I know Alan from Wildhoney whom I’ve worked with plenty of times (and rave about all the time) so I knew I was in for more great music. This self-titled EP is pretty easy to peg in the influences of The… Continue reading Expert Alterations – EP
Wildhoney – Sleep Through It
Very happy to announce the new Wildhoney LP “Sleep Through It” is now out and available via digital (vinyl is coming real soon and this is one to have on wax). It’s one hell of a record too. I have had the extreme pleasure of working with this band through their EP’s and when they… Continue reading Wildhoney – Sleep Through It
The Morelings
Over the holidays I got to work with a group out of Philadelphia called The Morelings whose style of music pretty much aligns well with my entire music background. I immediately heard a lot of Cocteau Twins-esq melodies, Cure-like guitar lines, but those would be easy RIYL comparisons. The Morelings really conjured up a lot of… Continue reading The Morelings
Healer Man – Blue Suede Spirituals
Worked on this great blues-by-way-of-noise 7″ from Healer Man. Two super raw tracks that push the distortion and reverb to their breaking points. Working on this immediately brought to mind Jesus & Mary Chain, Burnt Ones, Haunted Leather, and even a touch of RL Burnside. (If you don’t know Burnt Ones or Haunted Leather then after listening… Continue reading Healer Man – Blue Suede Spirituals
Static Daydream EP
Static Daydream’s new EP is out now on Moon Sounds Records via cassette / digital. This is their debut release and I had a blast working on mixing and mastering 3 of the songs. This will be readying a full length album coming next, details will be coming soon. If you can only listen to one… Continue reading Static Daydream EP
History of Colour TV – Sure Enough EP
My wife and I have known Jaike for a long time. We put out a few albums of his old band Safeashome on our Safranin Sound label we ran a few years ago. This summer, while we were in France, we got to meet him for the first time. (Seeing Slowdive no less!) He makes awesome music… Continue reading History of Colour TV – Sure Enough EP
Screen Vinyl Image / Bloody Knives
Yeah yeah I know, you’re not supposed to master the stuff you record yourself and admittedly mastering our tracks was kinda tough, however, we were trying to keep a low budget on this release and aside from that I had the grand pleasure of mastering one of my most fave bands in the world, Bloody… Continue reading Screen Vinyl Image / Bloody Knives
