Mastering A Clean Kitchen Is A Happy Kitchen...

I’ll be spending the weekend mastering (vinyl & digital) the debut record front Antwerp’s A Clean Kitchen Is A Happy Kitchen that’s coming out on Jezus Factory Records (UK) in early 2011.

All things Jesse Gimbel…

I’m playing guitar in Jesse Gimbel’s live band, along with Brian Wilkinson from Like a Fox (bass) and Steve Cawley from Audible (drums). We’ve been rehearsing for the past month and things are really coming together. Looking forward to gigs this fall/winter!

The War On Drugs and Nightlands this Fall via Secretly Canadian

The War on Drugs has a new EP called Future Weather out on Secretly Canadian on October 26th, and S.C. are also releasing Nightlands‘ debut Forget the Mantra on November 9th. I’m friends with these guys, worked a bit on both of these records, and I’m super psyched for them to be out!

Current Recording and Mixing Projects...MatthewFO and Roomtone

I am currently mixing the debut MatthewFO EP and recording the new Roomtone EP/LP at my home studio in Philadelphia.

Spent the beginning of the week tracking live basics for Roomtone…drums, bass, guitars, percussion, and pedal steel. Borrowed Mike Kennedy’s (Audible) API 312s for the drums. Tea toweled them to 1970’s dry perfection, too.

Papermouth

I just finished mastering the self-titled release of the band Papermouth, who are based in Belgium. This record will be available on Bandcamp starting November 1st.

New Creeping Weeds Record available on Bandcamp!

The new Creeping Weeds record that I mastered this summer, See Through, is up at Bandcamp.

Pitchfork is referring to it as “Bliss-Pop” and has featured it in yesterday’s Forkcast.  Check out what they have to say about Forget [...]

Jesse Gimbel's City Shade / Country Sun!

Been really busy with a number of recording projects since my last post in April. I’ll be uploading links and some details soon enough.

Until then enjoy the new Jesse Gimbel record that I mastered in June…

“A Bouquet of Ghosts”

I’ve decided to blow the cobwebs off of some old instrumentals and release them as a mini-EP on Bandcamp.  These songs were recorded at home between 2003 and 2006. These were just sketches with the exception of “A Bouquet of Ghosts” which was written and recorded as the theme for a student film called [...]

Jr. James and the Late Guitar vs. Life Unexpected

Win!!!

Congratulations to Jim and Nancy and the band! The CW network used “Recognize” from Draw Blood! Undead @ Stella Blue on last Monday’s episode of Life Unexpected!  I spent some of last August assembling and mastering the live record from DAT recordings done at Stella Blue in Asheville, NC back in 2002.
