Chris Coady recently produced & mixed the upcoming Cult of Youth album for Sacred Bones Records.  Here is a photo of Chris and the band looking very happy at the Magic Shop here in New York City.

We are all pretty excited about this one! Our  Chris Coady spent the weekend producing & mixing the new Zola Jesus song “Poor Animal” in Brooklyn.  It features guest violins by Christiana Key from Cult of Youth and will be on the upcoming “Valusia” EP out October 12th on Sacred Bones.  Don’t miss Zola Jesus on tour with The xx.  Nika & Chris & a bottle of Poland Spring:

Chris mixed this album earlier this year.  Head over to Pitchfork to check out a track.

Fresh off producing & mixing the “Say No to Love” single, our James Brown is teaming up with legendary producer Flood to record the new Pains of Being Pure at Heart album here in NYC.  Judging by the album demos James recorded with the band in May, it’s going to be a fantastic album.

Here is a totally unrelated photo I took of the first Pains 7″ I found while record shopping in Tokyo in March 2008:

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….

Back on Memorial Day Geoff did a session with The Twilight Sad for the LimeWire Music Store.  It’s now available.  Click here to check it out.

Alaternative Press sure does have some nice things to say about James Browns production and mix on the new Pains of Being Pure at Heart single!

“The title track of the two-song release is indeed tidier and punchier than the band’s fuzz-damaged, self-titled full-length. Despite the spring cleaning, though, the title track–as well as its B-side, “Lost Saint”–are just as simple and endearingly infectious as the scruffy old stuff. But where the band used to shamble, they now sparkle”

I generally focus on the number Pitchfork gives an album, because the actual writing is pretty hit-or-miss with me.  We’ve all seen the reviews that don’t actually talk about the music on the album until the last half of the last paragraph.  In this case however, both the rating and the review seem to be spot on.  Click here to check it out.

“Barbara” is in stores and online now.  Chris Coady engineered a bit of it back in November at Mission Sound in Brooklyn.  Head over to Insound to pick up a copy.
