“Ride Your Horse” is the newest single from Beijing “transnational blues” guitar/bass duo Gong Gong Gong’s upcoming album Phantom Rhythm.   NPR premiered the track, writing “Depending on your ear, the Beijing-based guitar-and-bass duo could sound like The Feelies‘ stuttering post-punk, Bo Diddley‘s rock and roll boogie or Tinariwen‘s droning desert blues. But this unplaceable sound and drummer-less format encourages Gong Gong Gong’s reckless and razor-sharp rhythms to reshape rock and roll.”  Paste, Pop Bollocks, and Raven Sings the Blues all had words to say about it too, and Aquarium Drunkard interviewed the band from Beijing.  I produced Phantom Rhythm with the group in NYC, recording at Seaside Lounge and mixing at Studio Windows.  Phantom Rhythm is out October 4 via Wharf Cat Records – stream the video (directed by bassist Joshua Frank) and pre-order the album now!

NYC synth-rockers Operator Music Band are back with their new album Duo Duo.  I’ve mixed the band’s past couple (excellent) releases (Puzzlephonics and Coordination), and this is my favorite work that we’ve done yet.  Don’t take my word for it – both Gold Flake Paint and Pop Bollocks both wrote glowing reviews: “Flamboyant, buzzing with energy, it’s a beautiful piece of art-pop, mirroring the spread of colours found across the album’s imagery. Meticulously produced, the record succeeds in that rare triumph of feeling both freely loose and exquisitely sequenced, able to follow-up regimented beats with a burst of shiny exuberance; a sudden burst of firework against a grey and plaintive sky.” I helped with production and recording (alongside Henry Terepka, Lorenzo Wolff, and the band) and mixed the record at Studio Windows.  Duo Duo is out now on Broken Circles – pick up a copy and stream below!

NYC electronic-rock quartet Operator Music Band return with “Rex”, the newest single (and one of my personal favorites) from their upcoming LP Duo Duo.  I co-produced (with Henry Terepka of Zula), co-recorded (with Lorenzo Wolff and the band) and mixed the record at Studio Windows.  Fun Fact: the cover sculpture was designed and built by my Eaters collaborator Christopher Duffy!  Listen to “Rex” below, along with their previous singles “Mondo” and “Slim Spin”.  Duo Duo is out October 4 via Broken Circles.

Psych-rock explorers Quicksilver Daydream have released their new album Fly Oblivion!  I produced the album with the band, recording it at Seaside Lounge and mixing at Studio Windows, and Josh Bonati did a stunning master.  We went deep into the arrangements, experimenting with synthesizers, processed vocals and ambient textures to augment this strong selection of songs.  I’m super proud of the work we created here – “Hang On” is a particular favorite.  Fly Oblivion is out now – purchase the gorgeous LP direct from Bandcamp and stream it below.

NYC noise-rock duo ESSi have announced their debut album Vital Creatures.  I recorded it with them at Thump and mixed/mastered at Studio Windows – it’s a truly strange and beautiful record, super dense and ambitious, especially considering it was generated mostly live by two people.  The first single ‘Pines and Cones’ is streaming below; Vital Creatures comes out October 11 via Ramp Local.

Philadelphia basement-pop auteurs Honey Radar are back with Ruby Puff of Dust!  I’ve known Jason for years, have been a fan since he first handed me a CD-R of their debut Chain Smoking on Easter, and this new one certainly does not disappoint.  I mastered the new LP last year at Studio Windows, and it has already received glowing reviews from Allmusic (Editor’s Choice!), Brooklyn Vegan, The 13th Track, and more.  Ruby Puff of Dust is out now on What’s Your Rupture? – stream it below and pick it up on their Bandcamp.

NYC psych/folk/rockers Quicksilver Daydream have announced their new LP Fly Oblivion, due August 9.  I am truly proud of this album – it is one of those times where the ideas and conversations going into a record are not only realized but transcended into something greater than could have been imagined.  I produced the affair, recording the band at Seaside Lounge and mixing at Studio Windows, adding synths and backing vocals along the way.  Josh Bonati did mastered the album, bringing the whole thing to another level.  The first single “Warmth of Other Suns” premiered on  Glide Magazine, which should give listeners a taste of the expanse of this record.  Stream it below, and pre-order the LP from the group’s Bandcamp page.
