Autumn Above’s newest offering is lush, layered, and lovely (aka the three L’s of album reviews). Q engineer Sean Cahalin plays bass in Autumn Above. He can also be heard playing drums on the recording, which he also mixed. Sean’s pretty talented like that.

Will Dailey – Sunken Ship
Will Dailey’s album National Throat is doing really well and this song’s getting a lot of air play. Even though Will almost drowned several times making the video. Tracked and mixed in Studio A (and elsewhere) by Pat Dicenso.

Tanya Donelly – Swan Song Series
Tanya says this about the last installment of the Swan Song series:
So, last official volume, but not the last songs. More to come, as they come: erratically, sporadically, spasmodically.
The songs on these five volumes range wildly in feel and texture… Tanya’s bandcamp pages are rich with notes on the song writing, recordings, and the musicians she collaborated with on this project. We were lucky host her a few times throughout the recording of what are supposed to be her last official releases. We certainly hope there are more!
Skrillex Visits Studio A
So, turns out Skrillex is playing at Harbor Lights tonight. (I guess it’s also called something else now, but out of respect for our vintage gear, I use vintage venue names.)
Anyway, with Tall Joe Tooley overseeing the session in Studio A, Skrillex and a couple of friends worked on tunes till the wee hours. We heard they even tracked some GANG vocals; And they upped the laptop count (those running music software) in Studio A’s control room higher than ever.
