What can I tell ya. I love the heavy stuff – if it has a good melody, riff and kick drums, I’m a goner. I mastered the new album from Spoken a few months ago – it’s finally out and rocking heads off with a tidy balance of all these things. Jasen Rauch produced it. He’s pretty awesome. Ainslie Grosser mixed it. He rocks too. The first single is currently #2 on the Radio & Records Christian Rock Chart.
Here’s the video. Utilize that volume knob/slider/clicky thing you use to make rock louder. Also click on the little gear in the corner to get the HD version. YouTube swishy cymbals are no bueno.
Dig this one. Owen Thomas, formerly the dude driving the bus (not actually a bus driver) for The Elms, has a new album out this week that was, of course, mastered by this guy right here. (I mean me.) It’s been produced by Owen and his long time friend and former The Elms guitar playerizer, Thom Daughtery (who also recorded and mixed this record) over the last year or two, and there’s a bucket load of content with it. He’s got lyric videos and all kinds of stuff. It’s a very cool record with a number of vibes in a package that still fits together. Very fun stuff. I don’ t mind saying that I think it sounds KILLER.
Here’s one. You should watch it. Use the HD – it sounds better.
There’s a ton more music to be had at his website, RIGHT HERE, his facebook is HERE his twitter is HERE his Soundcloud is HERE if ya want it…geez. Dude has links for weeks. I’m done. Got some Winter Jam to finish.
I’ve carried on here previously about the Stages and Stereos EP that I recently mastered…you may recall. Well, check this. The guys are streaming it for free this week at their purevolume.com page. You can dig on it right HERE. A little rock for your ear holes. These are the guys I blathered on about in this BLOG POST about being grabbed by the lyrics. Seriously. Dude had his leg blown off by and IED and only survived because he happened to be running. His story is better than….almost anyone’s. And it’s in their song “Pressure Under Fire” – you really should check it out.
Also, check out their facetube HERE, their Tweetmachine HERE and the dude behind the sounds, my long time buddy Lee Dyess at Earthsound Recording – my man knows some underground.
It’s time for that list…the list of stuff on the big radio charts that I’ve mastered.
Exciting, right? I KNOW!
So, what we find…Meredith Andrews has popped into the action with her single “Not For A Moment (After All)” on the AC chart. I’m sure we’ll see that climbing for a while. You can go check it out at her Soundcloud Page if you’d like to hear it. I’m sure she’d love that. Big thanks to the nice folks who use me to make them sound better. I’m a lucky dude.
