Fantasy EP by @mothersoki out now @momandpopmusic Sometimes I receive music and it has this unique quality, like a feeling perfectly captured. That was the case with Annie and Jack and I’m so happy to see these songs resonating with people. Shout to Don @avalanchemgmt always supporting the vision. Mixed by @jackpfeffer_ and mastered by me.

After EP 2 from @aftertheband out now with @momandpopmusic This was a very rewarding project to master. After has got such a unique vision and the songwriting is fantastic, a stand out record for sure. Grateful to everyone involved and to @alexcraig5000 who first got us all working together last year.

Hey everyone, for 5+ years I’ve made an effort to share as much of the music I work on as possible here. This is because: a) I was trusted to work on these projects and I stand behind everything I choose to work on. b) To me the value of art isn’t determined by commercial success and although I’m hired for working on recognizable albums I don’t value ~only~ those works for their success. That being said my capacity for spending time on social media has decreased greatly and I find it difficult to keep up with the velocity of released music, especially in a culture of singles vs albums. There is also the matter of platform and how we’re spending our precious hours being advertised to and manipulated by corporate interest… a larger issue. Although it’s probably unnecessary I thought it was reasonable to offer an explanation for my sudden change of behavior in not sharing 10+ releases to my story every Friday. It has nothing to do with indifference toward released music, quite the opposite. I need to devote my energy to mastering the records and sharing them all here diplomatically and fairly is feeling less like how I can best serve my purpose. I appreciate you all endlessly, and the struggle of combining the music and the industry is something we all have to navigate. xo - Alec
