Barricades slipped into Q for a Converse Rubber Tracks session in the first week we hosted the pop up studio in Studio A. Poppy, powerful, fantastic vocals, and great guitars sounds. Converse’s Aaron Bastinelli came down from Brooklyn for the first week and engineered and mixed this one.
Clients
Brother & Co. – Unknow You (BC)
Joe Tooley recorded and mixed this full length from locals Brother & Co. The band is led by Josh Pritchard of Ruin/Renewal. Unknow You is often quiet, introspective, alternative/Americana sounding tunes with whispery vocals, expansive drums, and textured guitars. Did we mention heartache? There’s some of that too.
The band features a stellar rhythm section: Andy Plaisted on drums and Dave Westner on bass.
Color Channel – Out of Breath (RT)
Color Channel recorded this funky hazy tune with Matt Beaudoin in Studio A as part of the Converse Rubber Tracks sessions. Great bass, awesome vocals, and tight drumming.
Froggy and the Friendship – Sunny Day (Video)
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.
