Mother Ton – Earthbound
Mother Ton sheds some light on their atmospheric, spacey, and extremely groovy sound in their song “Earthbound.” With their super smooth horn arrangements and colorful vocal production, it’s a “no-holds-barred” sound thanks to seamless sectional transitions and some of Studio A’s rarities and accommodations. You can find more of Mother Ton’s music here, including their new album Star2Mars: https://mothertonmusic.bandcamp.com
Abbie Barrett – Take it in Stride
It’s what happens when you take the burning talent of Abbie Barrett and the production (and bass) skills of Q Division’s studio manager, Ed Valauskas – Take it in Stride is a whiplash of a record, and tight doesn’t even begin to describe it. Recorded in Studio A and mixed by Pat DiCenso. You can find more of Abbie Barrett’s music here: http://abbiebarrett.com
