Hey friends and friends of friends and friends of friends of friends, if you ain’t heard, hear hear, the new @matthewklanewithmouthtrumpet is available for your ears. 13 new tracks of desperate silliness with a full band of collaborators including Shawn McCann (guitar, banjo), Chris Gockley (bass), and Louis Apicello (trumpet, squeezebox). Produced by the wizard Jimi W. and mastered by Sam Torres here in Troy, NY. Links in bio or streaming anywhere and everywhere. So many thanks for your support and for sharing! ❤️🎺🌞❤️

I've been writing new songs on an old instrument: one that was a big part of my life, but never a songwriting partner until now. Quiet Anthems is coming on April 18. Pre-orders are now open on bandcamp at link in bio. ❤️
I love going to release shows with friends whose records I’ve mastered! @theearly_band played a beautiful set last night at @theavalonlounge (thanks for the shoutout!) and I got to grab a record to add my collection. Check out “I Want To Be Ready” out now on @islandhouserecs ! Mastered by me at @polymouthmastering
Pro tip: listening to @mmeadows4u and/or @trts makes pulling thousands of nails out of your future mastering studio’s ceiling go really fast ⚡️🔨
(more on the whole I’m building a studio thing later)
Follow-up reel about the topic I discussed in @ianstewartmusic ’s article about common issues mastering engineers see for the @izotopeinc blog. Definitely check out the full article as there is a ton of great info in there! But here is a tool that I use frequently to tweak the relationship between the lead vocal and center of the stereo image, everything else in the track, and the listener.
Happy new year from me and the Bigfoot curtains my parents recently put in my childhood bedroom as an homage to me. 2025 was all over the place, but I’m proud of the fact that I mastered almost twice as many tracks last year as I did in 2024, and I’m ready to double it again in 2026!! Booking for mid-January and beyond now :)
