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.

Their bio notes: “A Harvard-educated sound engineer who performs folk rock instead of going to class? It’s worth a listen. Heath Street front man Scott Fruhan, a Boston singer/songwriter and sound engineer, began his professional music career in 2000 after being unceremoniously tossed out of the “Sober in the Sun” folk festival for loudly opening a beer (on the way home, it finally dawned on him why everyone was so clean and friendly).”
The soft delicate sounds of Heath Street shed light to the essence of what it feels like to live in Boston.
Heath Street’s self titled album was mixed by Matt Beaudoin at Q Division.
