Wave Upon Wave

I keep adding functionality and refinement to the mix room… very cool to be able to bounce between mixing hybrid analog to tape or full in the box at 7.1.4 #atmos, tracking a full band live or mastering, solo production or zoom teaching. Just feels good when your studio space is an extension of your skills, not getting in the way and allowing you to trust instincts.

Every week we will be collecting tunes from staff at Pretzle Records and sharing them with you. This week it’s James' turn. James is a co-owner of Pretzle and is also producer and engineer over at @wave_upon_wave studios. James' list sticks super local and he's added some classic central IL artists that we all know and love. Go give it a listen! This is the last post in our Pretzle Playlist series BUT we have some new stuff coming your way as we dig into what some of our artists are listening to starting next week! You asked for it and we are going to deliver. Many thanks!

Dear friends! Dave King's hour-long 1995 cassette release! More songs from the invisible discography of the Duke of Uke! From a cassette unearthed in a private library. 34 songs about fish, bombs, bats, cars, bugs, toys, busses, chicken soup and shopping. Digitized for Bandcamp by Spineless Books. An effort has been made to preserve every glitch and four-track-cassette artifact in accordance with the artists' original degree of perfectionism. /album/the-walking-gumdrop Lovingly mastered for Bandcamp by James Treichler at Wave Upon Wave.

Boyish is out everywhere now❤️‍🔥. Had an insane night playing @thisispygmalion , being surrounded by so much love and getting to celebrate a year+ of working on the album. What song have you been liking the most on the album so far?!?! Let us know!!!:) Been an unbelievable experience working with the most down to earth people I've ever met and getting to call them my friends now :). Thank you to everyone for listening, sharing, and supporting. I FEEL SO LUCKY. It means the absolute world to hear that you're enjoying it and resonating with all of the crazy thoughts in my brain that became this album. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Special thank you to my bandmates, Sin, Sean, and Jackson for being along on this ride and having the biggest hand in turning our music into what feels like home. Couldn't ask for a better music family. I LOVE YOU. WE HAVE A VINYL! And records in our local shops! And I think that's really cool. I'm so proud of us. Another thank you to Juli and James for giving us the opportunity to share with people and believing in us. We literally (and I cannot emphasize this enough) could not have done this without them. Lastly, warmest appreciation to Karl, Anna, and Andres who gave life to the album with their aesthetics and made the album/art LOOK great. Forever grateful for your time and talents. You can go stream Boyish anywhere you like to listen<3👔. more to come soon;)
