thanks to @ericfosssucks @oh_no_brando @sellyourhousefilm for creating the project without which this wouldn’t exist

thanks to @hoteslikelotus for being the first person to encourage me to complete the song and release it. not sure it would have happened at all without you. most importantly you encouraged me to sing it in my natural voice instead of the more affected one I originally used for the film. that allowed me to put an extra element of myself into the song which means a lot to me.

thanks to @chimneyisme for having a sick space to get sick drum sounds in

thanks to @bellchoirstudios for being the best place in the world I could have ended up with a studio of my own

Today @lizcooperdotcom new album, New Day is out. A lot of life was woven in between our sessions together over the course of 2024 through 2025 until today! Making records can often take a really long time. Time to experience things, time to reflect, time to write, perform/record, mix, master, schedule and after ALLL that, then RELEASE. And man, when it still resonates with you after all that, I mean, that’s what it’s all about right?

This is the first record I made from start to finish in my humble garage studio. A place I love so much and where I pretty much spend everyday now.

A few shout outs!

I’m grateful for @pfred_ a beautiful bearded boy and a great person to make music with. So open, talented and always willing to listen. Knows when to speak up when help is needed and when to play along and follow someone else’s lead

My dear friend @jocieadams from @arcirismusic played some bass clarinets on baby steps. A small part but one of my favorite sonic imprints on the whole record. My boy @oliverhill___ the Swiss Family Robinson of string arrangers will likely be on every record I make from here till forever. @farawayjazz is secretly the best drummer and percussionist I know and he adds the sickest atmosphere to Better Than Ever. @grantprettyman plays some bass and also helped Liz with album design and artwork. What a G.

As always @emilylazarlodge and the team @lodgemastering make things POP POP POP

My dog Hakeem probably deserves a shout out as well. I didn’t mean to put him in every video. He just is. Best studio dog in the biz, I will fight you on that.

@lizcooperdotcom is an effortless artist. Her songs feel like every one of them were written on a paper napkin in a diner or dive bar. So poignant and accessible. Plus, she shreds. Plus, she is the nicest loveliest person to be around, plus hard working plus always down to literally clown. I love you Liz. I love this album. Go give Liz money now for her music or merch which is also sick. #nice #sick #icecold

Go listen yall! Liz is the real deal and deserves to make a living making her art! by @pfred_

Happy record release day @ilovelucius 🚀
IMO, the latest is the greatest from this band and I’m so proud of them for this contribution to our musical landscape. Pete, Holly, Jess, & Danny: big time congrats 🌵 I was assistant engineer on the record as well as additional mixer on “Old Tape” feat. Adam from @thewarondrugs which is heavy fanboy territory for me (shout out to @lovecoolmatt for letting us use his amazing ‘63 Jaguar on that song btw). I also played guitar and sang on a couple songs. I’m so stoked on it. Please give it several listens and share it with people and go to the shows and buy merch 🤍

Before the rest of the shout-outs: @chimneyisme is a visionary producer. Watching and participating in his relentless and joyful pursuit of the most exciting, expressive edge of music is a masterclass and so much fun. I always learn a ton. Thanks for having me along.

The other shouts: @muzzytheband @solomondorseymusic @madicunningham @taylordawesgoldsmith @mr.luke_temple and everyone else who played on it, @bobbykamalino for being one of the coolest and best looking guys in town and running the amazing @altamirasound and @goodharbormusic for everything they do. by @pfred_

These @pattiegonia shows were exactly what we needed — joy, defiance, inclusivity, and more joy. I had a damn good time. I’ve also never seen 99%+ compliance with audience participation / dancing (every night), that was mind-bending. For that I credit @sammyraemusic & their incredible fans, those are some smiley-ass people who know how to show up and enjoy themselves. Thanks Sammy for having us along 🤍

First time for me playing some cool places (Palladium, T5, Fox Theater) and more importantly my first time performing with a drag queen. It felt vital and life-affirming and cunt and I’m v v grateful.

Thank you so much to @solomondorseymusic for putting the band together, @allenju for smackin them drums in a satisfying and dryly witty way, @hzkanderson for the pics and videos, @thegraciegirl for being ginger, @hayhayron for keeping us together and also being ginger, @jennycdugan for not being ginger but I love you anyway, and of course Pattie for being the incredible light that you are. Til next time ✨ by @pfred_
