I mixed and mastered this track for the pandemic supergroup, The Sanitizers.
The Sanitizers – Kiss Me, I’m Vaccinated
Upstream Color – Wake
This is the first single from Tyler’s upcoming album. In many ways, this song has it all. A chorus that stays with you, lyrics with depth, and a drawn out, psychedelic guitar solo section. As always, it was a privilege to work with Tyler and be given the opportunity to contribute to his music.
We Shoot Messengers – Latticed Scenery
This is the first WSM release in a few years and we’ve got more in the works. This song was inspired by both science and fiction.
The Displacement Method – Still Unclear
Upstream Color – Into the Blue
Tyler had left Toronto for Victoria, BC nearly a year ago. He contacted me in early 2019 to say that he had some acoustic songs he wanted to record. Tyler set up a makeshift home studio (see his Instagram for pictures) and away we went. As always, I really enjoyed the process of working through Tyler’s songs with him. I can’t wait to hear what he’s working on next.
The Displacement Method – Wow & Flutter
This is the follow up to the self-titled EP by my solo project. I opted for a larger soundscape but there are still numerous sonic elements that are shared with the first album. This album is about how the artifacts and distortions of the past end up being viewed as desirable in the present.
Thanks to James Harding of Villainest for lending his ear when these songs had become too familiar to my own.
I also want to thank my wife Lauren for her endless support and helping me find time to finish up this album amidst our foray into parenthood.
This album is for Mercer. Although the album is about looking back, he keeps me looking forward.
Upstream Color – The Broken Window
Tyler is an incredibly talented songwriter and he can really lay down a guitar solo, too. The songs on this album move effortlessly through various sounds and were an absolute pleasure to work on.
Lions & Sorrows
Rescued from the deep, dark recesses of my hard drive, this is an album that was a product of overseas collaboration with my good friend Hanmu. He would send me stripped down demos and trust me to build the songs up and push them further. Then life happened and the project was shelved for a number of years. I recently came upon the Logic files again and decided that these songs really needed to see the light of day. So here we are. I hope you enjoy them!
Mike Tea – The Psychology of Insects
This new album from Mike Tea is a bit more rock oriented than his previous work. However, there is certainly a familiar perspective and sense of curiosity driving these songs. There is already a follow up album in the works, where stylistically we’re taking things back (not all the way to 1870, but close).
The Vestaloynes – Vaccinated
This is a song about love and vaccine preventable diseases. We went for a vintage sound on this one; very happy with how it turned out!
