Sean engineered and mixed this fantastic song, but what we really like about this is, well… ZOMBIES.
But we promise that hanging with Sean is anything but a Zombie filled experience. Mostly.
Charlie Chesterman – Carolina Blue (BC)
The last studio recording by Charlie Chesterman was cut live in Studio A with a band of Charlie’s friends. The result is this lovely tune, Carolina Blue. Rafi and Pete Weiss engineered the recording, and Pete mixed it up in Verdant on his Neve. It appeared on a compilation called Solid Gold Electric Chestnut Dispenser, which is available here. Proceeds from sales of this song and record benefit the friends of Charlie Chesterman. Read about Charlie’s life here.
Das Muerte – EP2 (BC)
Joe Tooley recorded and mixed this assault of math-metal-rock. Odd time signatures, saturated heavy guitars, thundering double bass drum pounding, and screaming vocals that are a reminiscent of Mr. Bungle, and a little of Killing Joke. Studio A hasn’t sounded this angry in a minute.
Parks – Sweater Weather (Video)
Check out this poppy tune from Parks! Matty B tracked drums and various other bits and bobs. The song won the Jon Lennon songwriting contest in 2013. Brian E King has this to say about the song:
“I wrote “Sweater Weather” on a typical, blistering summer’s day in Boston,” says Brian E. King, who shares frontman duties with keyboardist Liz McBride. “The Smiths-y riff came out of nowhere, and it was the fastest song I’ve ever written. Lyrically, it’s based on the optimism of a new romance surrounded by the beautiful — yet decaying — autumn season. Crisp late nights and pumpkin beers.”
The Bynars – X vs. X (BC)
This batch of synth pop tunes was recorded at Q by Adam Taylor (of Camp Street Studios), and Sean Cahalin. While the tunes are synth heavy you can hear some of our guitar amps & pedals too. I remember Push and Pull’s San B Overdrive was getting some heavy use on these sessions. Adam and the band mixed the record at Zippah. The album has one epic jam (11 minutes!), which is a rare offering.
