So, turns out Skrillex is playing at Harbor Lights tonight. (I guess it’s also called something else now, but out of respect for our vintage gear, I use vintage venue names.)
Anyway, with Tall Joe Tooley overseeing the session in Studio A, Skrillex and a couple of friends worked on tunes till the wee hours. We heard they even tracked some GANG vocals; And they upped the laptop count (those running music software) in Studio A’s control room higher than ever.

As the Sparrow – The Painter’s Wife (RT)
Sounds like As the Sparrow used every instrument in the building and a few more they brought with them for their Rubber Tracks session in Studio A. They mention the word swing on their Bandcamp page, and I’m dubbing this stuff Indie Swing… Fiddles, trumpet, piano, boy/girl vocals, drums, guitars – there’s something for everyone. Even what sounds like tape hiss! An instrument you might not hear while your new vinyl is popping and crackling on the turntable.
Township – When We Were Young EP (BC)
So, Township worked on a full length with Ed and Denzel, but things being what they are, they’re releasing the record as three separate EP’s. Second installment of the batch came out this week, and it’s rocktastic and futuristic. We’ve put it right here, but you should also saunter over to Bandcamp and buy a copy.
Hillary Reynolds Band – Honey, Come Home (Video)
Honey, Come Home is the first song and video to be released from HRB’s upcoming album, The Miles Before Us.
The Hillary Reynolds Band have been very hard at work, with Joe Tooley, in every room in Q Division, recording and mixing beautiful, lush songs. Honey, Come Home features bowed bass, cello, mandolin, acoustic guitar, quiet drums, piano (our baby grand), and Hillary’s beautiful voice (ok, and some lovely harmonies from the dudes too).
Will Dailey Releases National Throat (Vinyl)
The long awaited Will Dailey album is now available on vinyl.
Our copy was hand-delivered sometime in the wee hours and looks fantastic. You can get it at willdailey.com
My favorite thing so far? That Side A was sponsored by Mike O’Malley!
