Throwback of the week: Sleeping People ’NOTRUF’ released 2012 on Temporary Residence Records

Yet another incredible band from San Diego that is no longer. This record was a true honor to make. The level of musicianship these 4 humans contain is outstanding. One of the “mathy-est” yet “hooky-est” instrumental bands around. They were a freight train on stage and some of the kindest people in the SD music scene. Stream this and the rest of their catalog on Spotify etc. and read on in the comments for more on the sessions.

Throwback of the week: Spotlights ‘TIDALS’ Released May 13th, 2016 on Crowquill Records
Produced/Recorded/Mixed/Performed
•
This record was a big turning point for me in many ways. It was our first proper release as Spotlights and the record that kickstarted what has been a pretty wild 5 years. It’s also a pinnacle for me when it comes to gerrilla recording techniques, and making the most of what you have. Something I really had to harness while living in Brooklyn! Available on all platforms. Read on in the comments for more on the process.

Throwback of the week: Indoor Cities ‘Holy Land, Wayward Seas’ Self Released May 25, 2014
Produced/Recorded/Mixed/Mastered
•
This record is amazing! Indoor cities is the brain child of the incredibly talented, Andrew Farwell. They took looping and musicianship to another level of precision and creativity. All the elements blend together perfectly to create an immersive, yet intellectual listening experience. There’s thought and intention behind every note. Giving the music a clarity, which is rare in this type of instrumental music. Available on Bandcamp and streaming platforms. Check it out and read more about the making of the record in the comments below.

Throwback of the week: Transfer ‘Shadow Aspect’. Released December 2013
Produced/Recorded/Mixed
•
Transfer was sort of an enigma. They seemed to be able to draw in music lovers of all types. Despite having a sort of Americana/singer songwriter/indie rock approach, they were heavy, spacey and massive, with incredible subtlety and precision. Available on streaming platforms. Take a listen and read more about the sessions in the comments.

Throwback of the week: Goodbye Blue Monday ‘The World Won’t Listen’. Recorded/Mixed/Mastered
•
GBM was a standout 4 piece from San Diego in the early 2000’s. Still love the drum sound on this one. I believe I used 2 AT4050s in MS configuration, about 6’ behind the kit for room mics. Jason, their drummer has such a unique style and great control, which made it possible to get a big roomy sound without overwhelming cymbal noise. Great band, great tones. Available on Spotify, Apple Music etc.
