Juliana Hatfield Performs Only Everything on Electric Guitar, Live from Studio A.

February 10, 2021 by Rafi

We’re super excited to host another livestream with Juliana Hatfield, on February 21. This time she’s switching to electric guitar and performing her album Only Everything, in its entirety! What a treat! Hope you can join us. The livestream is free to watch, but donations are appreciated.

Facebook event page is here, and the stream will take place on the Q Division Youtube page. The shows generally stay up for a couple of weeks, and then are removed – so if you miss it on the 21st, you’ll still have a couple of weeks before it’s gone forever.

There’s a note Juliana Hatfield about the show on her website.

David Hinckley – David Hinckley

January 18, 2017 by Jeremy Bernstein

David Hinckley’s instrumental self-titled November release tastefully calls one’s senses to the sights and sounds of the 60’s with laid-back jazz, blues, surf and country elements co-existing to form a nostalgic experience.  From the Merle Travis-like country bounce of Parker’s Pit to the Johnny Smith-esque intro of Cool Ranch, it is clear that Hinckley and his band of Elio DeLuca, Harrison Seiler and Ed Spargo have done due dilligence of classic American guitar music. Tracked by Rafi Sofer in Q’s Studio A and mixed by Elio DeLuca, Hinckley’s debut release is a dynamic listen for any guitar fanatic who enjoys vintage vibes. You can listen to David Hinckley on Bandcamp.

Tanya Donelly – Swan Song Series

January 18, 2017 by Jeremy Bernstein

New England native Tanya Donelly’s most recent release, Swan Song Series, contains more than five volumes of new music recorded and mixed at Q Division in addition to other locations.  Tooraloo (Bonus Tracks), tracked and mixed by Rafi Sofer (additional tracking by Scott Janovitz at Moontower) captures Tanya’s sentimental lyrics in an intimate, exposed setting.  Snow Goose and Me (Swan Song Series 5), recorded by Pat ‘Denzel’ DiCenso and mixed by Matt Beaudoin at Q include rich strings and churning guitar, played by former Throwing Muses & Belly member, Fred Abong, which lay a foundation for layers of Tanya’s voice to portray her blissful story.  ABC News recently included Swan Song Series on its 50 Best Albums of 2016 list, citing the above songs as ‘Favorite Tracks’ from the collection.  You can listen to Swan Song Series on Bandcamp.

Airport – Everything Old Is New

December 28, 2016 by Samuel Haiman

Released on December 13th, Airport’s latest release continues their exploration of 70’s inspired rock n roll.  Tinged with Tom Petty and the Heartbreaker inspired instrumentals underneath an ethereal stack of vocals, these tunes would feel right at home alongside early 2000s alt rock ala Fountains of Wayne and the Old 97s.  Recorded and mixed at Q Division Studios by Rafi Sofer, Pat DiCenso, and Matt Tahaney.  Listen below.

Tanya Donelly – Swan Songs Series

May 20, 2016 by Rafi

SwanSongWildLoveTanya Donnelly’s Swan Song Series is now complete and released. Over the last few years Tanya has stopped in at Q periodically to work on on this series, and the recordings have been released in stages. May 20th marks the digital/cd release of the complete series – the vinyl release is still to come. We’re super pleased to have been involved in recording, mixing, and mastering these songs – all of which are collaborations with other songwriters and musicians – it’s an incredibly diverse body of work!

Some number of years ago these dudes flew in from Some number of years ago these dudes flew in from Spain, I think, and spent a week or so locked up in (old) studio B with Ed and Matt Beaudoin and made this intense album together- it’s still out there sounding kick ass. We even have copies of it for sale at Q- just hit Ed up and he’ll hook you up.

Ha pasado más de una década del lanzamiento del segundo disco de una banda madrileña a la que echamos mucho en falta. Hablamos de la obra que llevó a The Right Ons a cruzar el charco para ponerse a las órdenes del productor Ed Valauskas, responsable del incontestable "Roll with it" de Eli Paperboy Reed.

Para la ocasión hemos reunido a todos los integrantes del combo que mezclaba con destreza rock, funk y soul. Cada uno de ellos nos cuenta lo que supuso este disco grabado en Boston en 2009, justo cuando estaban en lo más alto y muchos la consideraban una de las bandas más prometedoras del panorama nacional.

I don’t usually bother people while they’re wo I don’t usually bother people while they’re working on albums, so I really enjoy these glimpses into “the making processes” from folks. Something about the way we all see the same things differently - doubly so for sounds - the same drums in the same room can sound like an infinite number of things..

Ok- so Paper Citizen’s new release kicks ass! Q’s @colindrumskinda is a member of the band, @seanbrownbike played drums and must be an honorary member, and CG is an honorary Q engineer (when she’s in town) - look, she’s even rocking a patch in the video! Totes bad ass. (Catching up with reposting - so stuff is out of time..)

As @challymikes would say, we workin’, but we not at work 🎛 Spent the last 3 days “working” with my favorite crew: Chally on drums, @mitchytime251 on keys, #kylemiles on bass, and @feri_bong in the control room with me. Used all 32 channels of this Neve 8068, just about every ribbon mic in the house (RX77’s on overheads though 🤯), 2 kick drums, 4 snare drums tracking basics on 7 songs. Next up, piano solos 🛸
