Had the pleasure to work with Death Valley Rally out of VA Beach on their new album, Northern Lights. If you’re as much a fan of Mojave 3 as I am, you’re gonna love this album. And that’s not to say the reference is what they sound like, it’s simply a ballpark because there’s plenty of other…

Haiku Garden – Waver EP
Haiku Garden contacted me about mastering their new EP. I was excited to not only get an email from a band in Slovenia, but that they sound like a group influenced by bands I grew up listening to, Catherine Wheel and The Kitchens of Distinction. They were fun to work with and I also got…
Bummed – Smoking Jewels Single
Kinda forgot I had done the digital files for this single so I thought I’d post it up for archive purposes. Great shoegaze from Boston and along the lines of Wildhoney. smoking jewels by bummed
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Wildhoney Brooklyn Vegan
Wildhoney’s new EP Over and Over got featured this week in Brooklyn Vegan with spring tour dates announced too. Be sure to catch them if they are coming in or around your town. “Baltimore’s Wildhoney are unabashedly flying the early ’90s shoegaze flag, recalling not only the obvious UK influences, but also their American compatriots…
Wildhoney Over & Over EP
I had the pleasure of working with Wildhoney again on their latest EP, Over and Over. The single, Seventeen, is catchy as hell followed by two extremely strong cuts. There are a lot of great things going for this Baltimore band; they have a great sense of pop song writing and dynamics play a big…
Static Daydream
I’ve known Paul Baker (Ceremony / Skywave) since the late 90’s. One of my favorite memories was when we were eating dinner at a rest stop on the New Jersey turnpike on the way to NYC for a show. I hardly knew Paul but we were sitting there in the grimy rest stop and a…
