Kyle “Slick” Johnson recorded and mixed the album with Dennis Herring and it’s no surprise that Pitchfork loves it. It’s a pretty great record, altho I’m pretty sure Debbi is sick of me playing “King of the Beach” over and over and over….

Check out this great little video about Wavves making “King of the Beach”. Kyle recorded and mixed this with Dennis Herring and it’s awwesome.

Kyle recorded and mixed the new Wavves record earlier this year with Mr. Dennis Herring producing. Click here to listen on Pitchfork or here to see what Stereogum had to say about the song.
Pittsburgh’s 1,2,3 is one of the coolest new bands I’ve heard in a while. I’ve been listening to demos for months but I still don’t know what to call them/how to categorize them, other than “awesome”. I’m guessing they’ve listened to “Parklife” and watched Wattstax a few times. I could be totally wrong about that though. The band were in Philadelphia early this week recording 2 songs with Kyle “Slick” Johnson at Fancy Time.
On their blog, 1,2,3 describes one of the songs this way:
“In Philly as we speak, about to record our next single with Kyle “Slick” Johnson (fresh off the new Wavves album). It’s a Motown meets Misfits murder ballad from the point of view of a guy who drowns a little girl in the Allegheny river. Pretty excited.”
Head here to read the band discuss recording the upcoming Wavves album. Kyle just got back from mixing it with Dennis Herring last week.
I forgot about this yesterday… BrooklynVegan talks about the album here. You can buy the album at Insound here.
Kyle is currently at Sweet Tea mixing the new Wavves record for Fat Possum with Dennis Herring. Cool. Here is a photo of Sweet Tea, it looks pretty rad:
Kyle “Slick” Johnson is busy building his studio Philadelphia for the next few weeks. He has christened it “Fancy Time”. If you want to make a fancy record let him know.
Check out Kyle in a toolbelt:
“Permalight” by Rogue Wave was recorded last summer by Kyle “Slick” Johnson at Sweet Tea with Dennis Herring producing. The Onion gives it a B+ review here.
