<br />
After tracking their full length, the folks of <a href="http://elisonjackson.bandcamp.com/album/spectral-evidence">Elison Jackson</a> turned to us for mix and master. A delightful folk-rooted record, mixed by Matthew Thomas in a way that that only MT can. Several different aural spectra ranging from lo-fi and loud to wide open and in your face make this record a great way to listen to these croony, well written/orchestrated songs. <br />
<br />
And we are just delighted to have them in the family.... maybe we can the next one from the beginning??????? <br />

Goodnight features former members of Pencilgrass (Erik Elligers [Gers] and Matt Goff [Beanhead])alongside Sean Elligers(Erik's brother), Nancy Matlack (Erik's wife), Amy Matlack (Nancy's Sister), Matt Crowley (Erik and Nancy's next-door neighbor) and Adam Kubota (random dude). GNBM has also be seen with such members as Rob Katz (Pencilgrass, Corpus Frisky, Slothlovechunk...etc.), John Panos (Pencilgrass, Kings, Mates of State, MT Bearington...etc.) and/or Jason Bates (Crooked Hook, Mountain Movers, Ponybird, MT Bearington, Shortpants Romance...etc.)<br />

GNBM usually performs as a 7-piece which can involve Vocals, Guitar, Cello, Viola, Mandolin, Banjo, Trumpet, Bells, Drums, Upright Bass..... I'm sure I'm missing something....probably a kazoo or something. All these elements in supprt of songs mainly by Erik Elligers and Matthew Crowley, deliver a new and interesting way to hear Americana/Folk driven music. Southern rhythms and progressions combined with northern melodies supported by a padding string section provide for a very different listening experience indeed. It almost sounds like ......Connecticut.<br />
<br />
With so many wonderful musicians and instruments involved, we can't possibly imagine screwing this up. I hope GNBM is as excited to work with us as we are with them. Listeners hopefully can look forward to our (surely elf driven) interpretation with an attempt to exaggerate their more atmospheric and energetic qualities.Kaiser Vilhelmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16424673620048298957noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715264304926691784.post-73207050579159276492011-02-11T09:12:00.000-05:002011-02-11T09:12:18.295-05:00EULA - "Texas Stampede" Video<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="292.5" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/c_18AX5MXcs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Kaiser Vilhelmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16424673620048298957noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715264304926691784.post-14362580854834212932011-02-09T13:34:00.000-05:002011-02-09T13:34:19.668-05:00Fake Babies "We Started Blues" Record ReleaseRecord is out and the release show was a blast!!!

"We Started Blues" was an effort to capture some of the Babies' smoother soul, pop and dance roots, while exaggerating their crusty, hard driven, noisy and jagged rhythms. And if I do say so myself.... we were quite successful. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/fakebabiesmusic/music">(hear some?)</a>. The record contains a variety of different sounds and styles from performed drum sequences dumped from a digital 8-track <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/8898362">(see "Sophistocated Thighs")</a>; step sequencing new home-found sounds; raw live tracking over loops; arranging sometimes 20 tracks of atmospheric sound to create sound walls/canvasses; to the manipulation of accidentally recorded train sounds.<br />
I would explain further but <a href="http://national.thedelimagazine.com/node/3725">Ben Heller of the Ampeater Review</a> already did a much better job than I possibly could. My personal favorite: "Live Without You"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">.</span></span>Kaiser Vilhelmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16424673620048298957noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715264304926691784.post-32173956726103492682010-11-29T14:23:00.001-05:002010-11-29T19:56:18.632-05:00MT Bearington "Love Buttons" Release date After two years of recording, mixing, re-recording, re-mixing, starting again from scratch, line-up changing, re-writing and doing it all over again, MT Bearington's "Love Buttons" is completed and will be released by New Haven's <a href="http://www.safetymeeting.net/">Safety Meeting Records</a> on Valentine's Day, 2011. The record will be available digitally and on vinyl (limited). Most of this record was done "in-house" with the exception of "Dark Night" (track 2) which was done at <a href="http://www.tarquinrecords.com/studio/index.html">Tarquin Studio</a> in Bridgeport by Greg Giorgio.<br />
We are thrilled that this long-overdue project is completed and are extremely proud of the outcome. "Love Buttons" showcases a barrage of different sounds, mixing/production styles and flows from track to track almost seamlessly. Suiting the record's release date, "Love Buttons" is primarily themed in sex and love that would otherwise be considered strange, fantastic, unreal, surreal, disgusting and/or out right offensive if not for its auditory counterpoint. The songs sound as equally sweet as the lyrics appear to be, when truthfully......it's kind of creepy at times.<br />

Fuzzy Rainbow is a production company formed in New Haven by Matt Thomas and Bill Readey. Originally formed to write off certain expenses in the making of our own record, Fuzzy Rainbow has since turned its attention to other struggling independent musicians in the New Haven area. Our Mission is to afford-ably raise the caliber of albums to their artist's standards and desires for the betterment of our fair city. Our readers here will get sneak peaks at new music, video and media from our friends and colleagues amidst a sea of hopefully random/entertaining topics. Hope you enjoy our offerings.<br />
<br />
Very truly yours,<br />
