Thanks for all those of you who came out Friday – it was a blast! Thanks to Caveman, WATERS, Weekend, Gauntlet Hair, Widowspeak, 123 and Tall Ships for playing and to Fred Perry, Brooklyn Brewery, SonicScoop, Insound, Soundtoys and Blue Microphones for making the event possible. Special thanks to David Rees for conducting fantastic band interviews. Check out photos of the entire event here on our Facebook page. Tag away…
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.
Excited to finally post about this one! Hector Castillo has been working on producing a Phillip Glass remix album with Beck. Other collaborators include Amon Tobin, Cornelius and Ty Braxton, among others. I’ll post more details as we get them, but until then, check out Hector, Beck and Phillip having a coffee at Phillip’s place:
Our 2011 CMJ recording event is finally confirmed! After the success of last years event (which featured Surfer Blood, DOM and Class Actress among others) we are back for more. I booked a great line-up – come out and see if Geoff Sanoff can pull off recording all eight bands in nine hours! Click on the invite below to enlarge.
The debut episode of “Input Output” is now available here on SonicScoop. Listen to Geoff, Eli and Chris Shaw get super white and nerdy!
I’m happy to announce that Hector Castillo has joined our Matt Shane in regular rotation at the Converse Rubber Tracks studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn! It’s a great studio that gives new bands the opportunity to record for free and we are happy to now have two of our producers involved. Here is a photo of Hector I stole from the Rubber Tracks Instagram account:
Chris Coady spent a good chunk of last December mixing “Mountaintops” at Sountracks here in NYC. Pitchfork gave it a solid 7.1 today, calling it a “return to form”. Check out the full review here.
The current issue of i-D features an interview by our Chris Coady. Click the photo for an enlarged version.
Back in May our Geoff Sanoff engineered the first “Inside Session” sponsored by SonicScoop and Avid. The song they recorded is now available for free download! Click here for the deatils and to watch a great 5 minute mini documentary on the event, along with interviews of Geoff, Zach Condon from the band and their producer Griffin Rodriguez.
It took P4k a while to review this one. Generally that’s not a good sign, but “Cult of Youth” ended up getting a solid review. Chris recorded this way back in June and July of 2010 at the Magic Shop here in NYC. Check out the review here.
