Released on December 13th, Airport’s latest release continues their exploration of 70’s inspired rock n roll. Tinged with Tom Petty and the Heartbreaker inspired instrumentals underneath an ethereal stack of vocals, these tunes would feel right at home alongside early 2000s alt rock ala Fountains of Wayne and the Old 97s. Recorded and mixed at Q Division Studios by Rafi Sofer, Pat DiCenso, and Matt Tahaney. Listen below.

Nate Leavitt & The Elevation – Someone Send A Signal
Nate Leavitt & The Elevation’s April release, Someone Send A Signal captures intimate songwriting matched with tasteful playing from his seasoned band. Nate’s storytelling delivery evokes stylings heard from Neil Young and Ryan Adams, but with his own personal spin added, creating a blend of familiar and fresh sounds. This album was produced by ‘Old Jack’, Dan Nicklin, who is also featured as a part of the band.
Q Division’s Studio A adorns the album artwork of Someone Send A Signal, which should send a signal that it was tracked and mixed here by Pat ‘Denzel’ DiCenso. You can listen to Nate Leavitt & The Elevations newest release on Bandcamp.
Abbie Barrett – That Shame
That Shame, Abbie Barrett’s most recent album, was produced by Ed Valauskas and recorded and mixed by Pat DiCenso at Q’s Studio A. Layers of distorted guitars paired with punchy drums provide high-octane backdrops for Abbie’s attitude-driven voice and rebellious, light-hearted lyrics. Q’s Mellotron and Farfisa color That Shame with otherworldly textures and sounds, played by Ed, who also played bass for the album. Listen to That Shame on Bandcamp.
