‘Kyle "Slick" Johnson’ News

Earlier this year Kyle “Slick” Johnson produced, engineered and mixed the upcoming LP by one of my favorite bands at the moment, North Highlands.  They shot a video for “Benefits” and Pitchfork debuted it today – click below to watch!

Head here to here to listen to the new So So Glo’s track “Lost Weekend”.  Kyle “Slick” Johnson recorded and mixed it just a few weeks ago at Fancy Time in Philadelphia.

Check out a great behind the scenes video on the recording of latest Weathervane Music session with Creepoid right here.   Watch Kyle “Slick” Johnson and engineer Jon Low discuss their approach to the whirlwind session.  Have you ever seen two sharper looking dudes in your life?

Creepoid.  Odds are that you haven’t heard of them unless you live in Philadelphia.  That is not a dis.  You will hear of them.  In fact, if I had to pick a band (today – only 3 days after CMJ 2011) that will probably play 10 shows at CMJ 2012, blow up on blogs and then blow up IRL, I would have to pick Creepoid.  Our Kyle “Slick” Johnson produced their debut LP late last year and just recently recorded a song of theirs for Weathervane Music. It’s called “Old Tree” and you can download it for free & watch a very cool “making of” video featuring Kyle here.   Now go to October 15, 2012 in your iCal and enter in the reminder “see every show Creepoid plays at CMJ”.

I’ve been loving this album for a LONG time.  It is really, really, really good.  Don’t take my word for it though – check out this post on BrooklynVegan today.  Also be sure to check out one of their CMJ shows – I know I will.

THIS RECORD IS SO GOOD!  Seriously – I can’t wait for it to come out.  Until then, head over to Stereogum to listen to “Benefits”.

Great in-depth interview with Kyle “Slick” Johnson and a contest to win a free weekend with him in his new Philly studio is up on the Deli right now.  Check out both here and tell all your friends in Philly bands to enter to win the time!
