Andy Boay (aka Andy White, 1/2 of Tonstartssbandht) is back with his new album Doomed. Pitchfork calls it “a serene, psychedelic opus”, and both Raven Sings the Blues and Aquarium Drunkard gave it glowing reviews. Andy wrote & recorded on a Tascam 688, using MIDI sync to stack layers of vocal loops and syncopated tremolos to tape – a truly inspiring working method that I’m excited to try out myself! I mixed & mastered the record with Andy at Studio Windows, and cannot recommend this highly enough to fans of weirdo pop like Panda Bear or Todd Rundgren. Doomed is out now on Does Are.

“Child” is the first single & first song from Doomed, the new album by Andy Boay (1/2 of Tonstartssbandht). The song was shared on Stereogum (“a little bit Panda Bear, a little bit Westerman, with falsetto flying all over the place over percolating lysergic guitar that feels melodic and deeply percussive all at once”), Raven Sings the Blues (“embraces the vocal gymnastics of his past releases, tumbling through his saturated wonderland with thrumming bass, percolating keys, and sunshine harmonies”), New Commute (“weaving electric sitar and floating keyboard vocal pads into an expansive web of sound”) and others. I’ve been a fan of Andy’s work for many years and a friend of his over the last couple, so it was a delight to mix & master this album with him at Studio Windows. Make sure to check out the video for the song by Rebecca Shenfeld (who made the video for my song “The Parallel”) below. Doomed is out October 2 via Does Are.
