Pale Monsters – Take What You Can Take
Take What You Can Get is the debut release from Boston-based Indie Rock band, Pale Monsters. Fronted by Chris Mulvey, former member of Muy Cansado, Pale Monsters finds Mulvey’s signature songwriting style in a new musical outfit. Produced by Jon Lupfer and engineered by James Bridges at 1867 during the closing of Q’s Studio B and completed in Studio A at Q Division, Take What You Can Get was released this past June. With dreamy synths, luscious soundscapes and playful songwriting, Pale Monsters are an exciting new offering to the Boston music community. You can listen to Take What You Can Get on Bandcamp.
Mother Ton – Earthbound
Mother Ton sheds some light on their atmospheric, spacey, and extremely groovy sound in their song “Earthbound.” With their super smooth horn arrangements and colorful vocal production, it’s a “no-holds-barred” sound thanks to seamless sectional transitions and some of Studio A’s rarities and accommodations. You can find more of Mother Ton’s music here, including their new album Star2Mars: https://mothertonmusic.bandcamp.com
Abbie Barrett – Take it in Stride
It’s what happens when you take the burning talent of Abbie Barrett and the production (and bass) skills of Q Division’s studio manager, Ed Valauskas – Take it in Stride is a whiplash of a record, and tight doesn’t even begin to describe it. Recorded in Studio A and mixed by Pat DiCenso. You can find more of Abbie Barrett’s music here: http://abbiebarrett.com
David Duchovny – Hell or Highwater
