Maxband – the indie-rock quartet featuring members of Parquet Courts and A Beacon School – have released their debut full-length album On Ice. Following press in Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, and So Young Magazine, the album shows the group twisting their tight grooves into interesting shapes. We recorded this at Living Rooms in Ridgewood, Queens, and I mixed it at Studio Windows, with Mikey Young doing the mastering. It’s rare that I’ve laughed so hard and still gotten so much done as we did while making this record, and I love how simultaneously catchy, goofy, and weird these songs turned out. Maxband On Ice is out now via Holm Front Records.

Maxband (featuring members of Parquet Courts and A Beacon School) is back with “Nothing’s Changed”, the opening track from their upcoming album “On Ice”. ”Nothing’s Changed” was featured on Stereogum, So Young Magazine, and others, with So Young writing “the single showcases a newfound sense of community within the band, with each member having the chance to spotlight their own talents.” Well said! The album was recorded last year at Living Rooms and mixed at Studio Windows, and mastered by Mikey Young (Total Control, Eddy Current Suppression Ring). Maxband On Ice is out April 5 via Holm Front Records.

“Take-Out Menu” is the newest single by Maxband (featuring members of Parquet Courts and A Beacon School). It comes from a batch of songs that we recorded earlier this year at Living Rooms and mixed at Studio Windows, and was mastered by Mikey Young (Total Control, Eddy Current Suppression Ring). This song hits the same poppy/punky sweet spots that their first two EPs did, but the album goes off into many stranger & darker places than this – hopefully we’ll get to hear more from it soon! “Take-Out Menu” is out now.

NYC’s art-pop weirdos Foyer Red are back with “Pollen City”, which Stereogum calls “a satisfyingly disjointed jam”. “Pollen City” is the third (of three) songs I recorded with them earlier this year, but whereas “Pickles” and “Flipper” dated back to the groups first EP Zigzag Wombat, “Pollen City” was written by their current quintet lineup and points forward to their next batch of songs. These songs were tracked at Living Rooms and mixed/mastered at Studio Windows in February 2022, and are all available on the group’s Bandcamp.

NYC-based weirdo pop group Foyer Red are back with the new single “Pickles”, which Stereogum calls “tightly would and spunky”. I recorded this song at Living Rooms Studio and mixed/mastered it at Studio Windows with them earlier this year, and it is from the same sessions as the previously released “Flipper”. Like that song, these are from the same era as the Zigzag Wombat EP, but played live with the expanded quintet lineup they have now. These two new songs just scratch the surface of where this band is headed – y’all are in for a treat! “Pickles” and “Flipper” are available now on Bandcamp.

NYC-based art-pop weirdos Foyer Red are back with a new song “Flipper”. After turning a lot of heads last year with their debut EP Zigzag Wombat, this new track was featured on Paste (“the band somehow manage to outdo themselves”), Under The Radar (“one of the most promising and entertaining new voices in indie rock”), Stereogum (“sweetly manic”), and others. “Flipper” is the first of a batch of new songs I worked on with the group, recording at Living Rooms Studio and mixing/mastering at Studio Windows. If you’ve seen Foyer Red live, you’ll know that this group is really coming into their own, and this is just a taste of what’s to come. “Flipper” is out now!
