Big Bliss – the NYC-based melodic post-punk outfit – is back with Vital Return. After singles featured on Stereogum, FLOOD Magazine, and Under The Radar, plus a feature in NYS Music, their sophomore record is out now on Good Eye Records. This album was years in the making – started and then delayed by the COVID lockdown – and delves deep into loss, addiction, and societal ills with a blend of new-wave punk grooves and intimately catchy melodies. I produced & recorded the record with lead-singer/guitarist Tim Race – at Figure 8 Recording, Light Show Studios, and BBHQ – and I mixed it at Studio Windows; Sarah Register mastered the album in full. Vital Return is out now via Good Eye Records.

NYC jangle-punks Big Bliss are back with “A Seat At The Table”, the new single of their upcoming LP Vital Return. The track premiered on Flood Magazine (who wrote “Judging by the lead single, even the darkest moments on the record sound polished with a bright sheen”) and was called Big Takeover called it “a hands-down stunner”. I produced and recorded this record with lead-singer/guitarist Tim Race at Figure 8 Recording (with additional tracking at Light Show Studio, Studio Windows and BBHQ), mixed it at Studio Windows, and Sarah Register mastered the LP. Vital Return comes out August 18 on Good Eye Records.

Winnipeg slowcore dream-poppers Living Hour are back with their new LP Someday Is Today. The record was written up in Exclaim (“luxuriating in languid textures… balancing stormy swells with long stretches of gossamer softness”), Pitchfork (the songs “lead with magnetic atmosphere and melodies, venturing briefly into fuzz and dissonance only to return to an earworm”), Brooklyn Vegan (“lush, hushed pop”) and Northern Transmissions (“an album of delicate human connection and melancholic vulnerability”), and the band were featured in Our Culture. The LP was recorded in Winnipeg at No Fun Club, with Melina Duterte (aka Jay Som), Samur Khouja (Cate LeBon) and myself each handling production & mixing on a third of the record; Sarah Register mastered the album. I loved working with the band on these 4 songs (December Forever, Curve, Exploding Rain, and the single Miss Miss Miss), guiding them from afar and building the arrangements around their studio experiments. Someday Is Today is out now on Kanine Records.
