Pale Monsters – Take What You Can Take

September 29, 2016 by Rafi

Take What You Can Get is the debut release from Boston-based Indie Rock band, Pale Monsters.  Fronted by Chris Mulvey, former member of Muy Cansado, Pale Monsters finds Mulvey’s signature songwriting style in a new musical outfit.  Produced by Jon Lupfer and engineered by James Bridges at 1867 during the closing of Q’s Studio B and completed in Studio A at Q Division, Take What You Can Get was released this past June.  With dreamy synths, luscious soundscapes and playful songwriting, Pale Monsters are an exciting new offering to the Boston music community.  You can listen to Take What You Can Get on Bandcamp.

Jeff Mellin featuring Jenny Dee: Don’t Go Crazy Before I Do!

August 14, 2014 by Rafi

In 2013 Jeff Mellin swung into Q to record this snappy retro duet. Ed V and the Mayor worked this song, which also features Tim Gearan, Andy Plaisted, Eric Salt, Abbey Barrett,  and Phil Aiken. Jeff is responsible for the great look and feel of the Q-Dee Rock and Soul 45 series, and he also designed our flaming tape machine T-shirts.

John Powhida International Airport – Airport Life (BC)

June 4, 2014 by Rafi

If you feel like you’ve been waiting a minute for the new JPX album, you’re probably right. But, it’s been worth the wait!

The new release from John Powhida International Airport finds our hero J-Po (and an all-star cast) in top form. 15 songs of smooth soul, funk, rock, and prog-art madness on a range of subject: Relationships, drinking, procreating, traveling, playing hide and seek, the mad world of music, and the people who make it. Horns, pulsating synths, guitarmonies, searing guitar solos, mad harmonies; this album has it all.

Jon Lupfer co-produced and engineered a many of these tracks, and others in the Q family of engineers also helped along the way.

My personal favorites? It’s hard to choose when you’ve got an album of great tunes like this, but Ridgfield Park always brings a smile, and Airport Life with its nod to Bowie and Zappa is a real blast.

 

Related: We released a JPX 45 a few years ago as part of our Rock and Soul 45 series. You can pick it up here. It has two songs on it – Daddy’s the Man, b/w Surrender To The Disco Knightz.
