Mackintosh Braun
This past two weeks Atlantic Recording artist Mackintosh Braun has been in the middle of a mix marathon. Their songs remind me of being in college and in love, with pumping, over-compressed vintage synthesizers and orchestral vocals blasting through a Vocoder on steroids. These guys and their memorable melodies and yearning changes will break hearts. We just started a new record for Brad Creel and his band. And we're also in the middle of new songs for Paper Brain, who is recording backing tracks for their second full-length record. Paul Hoaglin is on his way up from San Francisco to track to new Red Octopuses songs and do a day of overdubs for a new Brad Brooks record. The new outboard wiring project is in its final stages, and the result is tight and clean. NASA would approve. Later this month John Carleton is shooting all new photographs of the studio now that everything has changed, and we're launching a new web page. More later!
