Geoff Sanoff is Co-Producing & Mixing the new Obits LP for Sub Pop

Geoff Sanoff & Eli Janney are in the home stretch of co-producing the new Obits LP for Sub Pop.  They also co-produced the last Obits album “I Blame You”.  Not sure when it is set for release yet, but we will let you know.  Here is a photo of the band on Fallon last year:

New Swans album mixed by Kevin McMahon is out today!

It’s called “My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky” and our own Kevin McMahon mixed it at Marcata Recording in beautiful upstate New York.  It’s in stores now and got a nice review from Pitchfork today.

Michael Gira (Swans/Young God Records) himself says:

“Kevin is relentless in his search for both clarity and high fidelity – but perhaps most importantly, his focus is ultimately on the sonic thread that holds everything together, providing the architecture that enables the music to reach its’ maximum potential. I heartily recommend him – 1000 %”
