„Makeshift Family“ our second single of our up coming album is out today. A sweet song to start of our Irish tour of the same name inspired by the very same country, it’s people (shout out to @shanleysbar ) food and weather and getting around it as a traveling band of friends turned into family. A wonderfully awesome live video will be shared this afternoon recorded earlier this year recorded in Dresden by @lacassettemusicale @flaviemialon An interesting story to add…the beautiful photograph by @johannesgerblinger for the single artwork was taken in an actual Irish pub in Munich, Germany. Munich Vintage Pub owner Mike Nagl literally bought the Athletes Pub, Dundalk Ireland, took it apart and drove it to Gemany where it now sits in an unopened museum across from his venue in Unter Giesing, Munich. Thank you both Johannes and Mike for these shots! Enjoy the tune! We’re proud of it and what’s coming! Follow the links in the bio.

I'm a sucker for a remaster. My second listen is usually level matched to the original version for comparison. One of the things I wanted to do last year before the virus was to have some listening sessions here to discuss mastering and remastering. Talk about the musical and technical nuances between specific versions of albums. Maybe we can do it later this year...

Keeping the Dolby A calibrated and the session notes organized. Happy National Cat Day! #nationalcatday #studiocat #dolbya #dolby #atr #analogtape

Finally got a dbx Type II decoder to listen to this half-speed mastered "Super Disk" that I've had for over 20 years. Awesome vinyl sound with almost no noise! #dbx #superdisk #vinyl #analog #signaltonoise #discdecoder
