Song We Like: Electric Lady by Wine Lips

Very much like a funky magic carpet, the sound is woven together tightly and hovers way above the ground, like 20 feet up or so. We love this band

It’s possible to break down production like this, into its complicated composite individual pieces, but even then the question ‘why’ would linger. Why these bits? Why in this order? The fact that it works says a lot about this fantastic artist.

Song We Like: Don’t Know by Zip Tie Handcuffs

The harmonies, drum, and guitar are all at exactly the same level, and it moves really fast and with precision. A good song to listen to on an excellent pair of headphones.
