2012 update
It's been an amazing year so far at the studio, working on new LP's by Wild Nothing, Blondes, Marnie Stern, Young Man, and Younghusband, which I recorded in Lincolnshire, UK, in June.
2013 Update:
Lookout for records by Tripwires (Frenchkiss Records) and Deerhunter (4AD) coming out later this year.

Alessio (Banjo Or Freakout) plays as part of WALLS tonight in New York City

Tonight at Mercury Lounge in Manhattan, Alessio from Banjo Or Freakout opens for Factory Floor with his other project WALLS, whose EP you can stream over at their label, Kompact. I saw Factory Floor last night at Knitting Factory and it's worth checking out; for those who like loud pulsating electronics, noise guitar, deadpan vocals and a great dance/rock drummer.

If you missed the show, just hit the link -- it actually looks and sounds quite good, even some strange and robotic security camera style movement.
First song was the only soundcheck we got so give it a sec to warm up and dial in all the sounds.
I mixed it (Nicolas Vernhes) with the help of a very friendly and competent sound guy.
He also let me set up my delay (Memory Man) so I was having a blast layering delay on vocals and over...well, everything.
Did I go too far? Nah, is good, all fine.
It's really fun to mix the live show of a record I've worked on, and a rare occasion; I tried to give it a similar feel, at what feels like the most immersive but totally listenable volume that room can take.
Enjoy!
