Two fantastic albums are out today that I had the immense pleasure of producing. Incredibly different vibes and sounds but equally rewarding and fun for me to work on.

Thank you @gizmo.band and @so_tired_band for letting me be a part of your creative process. Seeing these songs grow from demo phase to pre production to final mix has been a great experience.

Gizmo -“All Your Worships” (top notch east coast indie rock) I worked in tandem with the one and only @loelcampbell and we had a blast. I think it turned out wonderfully, in no small part due to Loel’s skills and energy. Also, the Gizmo lads are great songwriters and players all round so it was damn easy to make them sound good. Thank you @julienkitson @danhartinger @spencerswaine.tv @jetzetradio @victorypoolmusic

So Tired - “Drop Me” (dark industrial trash punk)
Miranda is an absolute force and her band @jandersup @jessejamesladeroute @jameskearns3 killed it. Big shouts to @joshkorody who took it home with the engineering and mix. Crushed it.

Check these records out and buy them on @bandcamp today! ❤️ Support your local music scene! by @weirdnightmare
