2025 in a nutshell. Worked on twice this much but this is what was released this year. I feel honored, fortunate and lucky to get to make records with some amazing people. Life is short. Love people, love animals, make art.
Out Today: I Just Wanna Dance by @alexandriathomasmusic /// produced & mixed by me /// assistant engineered by @kristoferjedd /// this one is a very moving and heartfelt song with a lot of sweetness and a lot of heartbreak. Alex is such a fun artist to work with (you can tell just by the first few seconds of the song) and it was an honor that she trusted me with this tune. Give it a listen. It’s really special
Out Today: I still wish you were here by @phasesofkyra /// produced & mixed by me /// assistant engineered by @kristoferjedd /// I honestly got emotional listening to this song this morning. It’s so moving and haunting. We leaned in heavy to the Juno pulsating bass and the dreamy guitars. Kyra’s vocals really always blow me away. She’s such a talented songwriter and storyteller too. Equal parts pop and folksy and indie. Check this song out, it’s incredible
Out Today: Back In My Groove by @tobaccoroad.band /// produced & mixed by me /// asst engineered by @kristoferjedd /// the first single off their upcoming album, this one is so fired up it feels like there’s smoke coming out of the speakers. We captured most of this live and it was a blast. We instantly knew this song would be special. The guitars are exploding and so groovy, Annabel’s vocals are Adele level good. The rhythm section hits you right in the gut. I’m so excited for the whole record, but get a taste now. This year is gonna be really special for this crew, get on board early
Had the wonderful @jessscraven here and we’re working on a really great tune. Lots of polyrhythms, lots of warm synths. Excited for you to hear it 🪇🪇🪇
Out Today: Rest Stop Killer by @graygirrl & @nordistafreeze /// produced by me /// assistant engineered by @kristoferjedd /// I LOVE this song, and I’m so over the moon that it’s out. We tracked this a few Years back, as part of a collection of songs for Grayson. This was the first one we recorded, it went through a handful of changes. At one point I had the idea to bring in Nordista to sing the second verse. S/o to @gracechristianx for somehow making the omnichord creepy. I love Grayson’s lyricism and the delicate way she treats her vocals. She’s one of my favs. Give it a listen
Out Today: Manchild (Rock A Bye) by @papergirlmusic /// produced & mixed by me /// assistant engineered by @kristoferjedd /// one of the many songs we tracked in like 4 days, Sarah and I had a blast making this one punchy and loud. I love when a song interpolates a sing songy nursery rhyme, and I got to really bring out my Emo teenager in this track. Kinda reminds me of The Format. Check it out
Out Today: Jealousy by @mikkibmusic /// produced & mixed by me /// assistant engineered by @kristoferjedd /// Mikki is such a bright light, and I was so stoked that she brought this song to me. We tracked it fast (like 3 or 4 hours) and just made decisions that felt right the first time, trusted our gut. She played a fuzzy bass & crunchy guitar, I played drums. It rocks. Give it a listen.
Out Today: Halfway Care by @violetmo0ns /// produced & mixed by me /// assistant engineered by @kristoferjedd /// I’m SO happy this song is in the world. I had a list of bands I wanted to work with when I first started producing, and Violet Moons was on there, and it was really so great to get to finally work with them. The song is folksy and dreamy and lush and melancholy. Played it to no click, and kept everything really organic and lively. I love how their voices blend together, and the Big Thief influence is really apparent on this. Check it out.
