Afternoon Sun

I really love this new band I'm recording for Union Records called Paper Brain. We've recorded the piano mono with a mic in a bottle, reamped about everything in hallways and stairs, and built a suspended anvil box to sing in. Non-stop fun! Check out rough mixes of Postman [mp3], How Quick [mp3], and Emily [mp3]. Also listen to a song by Tahoe Jackson I recorded live playing piano along with Paul Brainard (guitar), Ezra Holbrook (drums), and Bill Limbocker (bass). Jeremy Sherrer tracked a cellist and mixed it yesterday: Afternoon Sun [mp3]. And here are two more from those funsters, The Winebirds, Vanity [mp3] and Monkey Victim Unit [mp3]. Here is another by Minus Pluto, Desired Effect [mp3], whose singer, Tanner Cundy, just started interning here. Super talented that Cundy. And finally, here is Danny Delegato and Nicholas LoCascio of The Hugs with Florida Girl [mp3]. New gear includes a second akg d12e mic, second akg d224e mic, and Altiverb TDM. Vintage King Audio is finally, finally, finally shipping my vintage Neve 2264 limiters on Monday, July 7. I've waited since 11/07. San Francisco's Paul Hoaglin of The Mother Hips will be here all next week with Brad Brooks. I can't wait!
