MORE RELEASES

Socials – @haloaskew

Tonight's audio adventure: a band you may or may not have heard of. Kinda brings back memories of Casey Kasem's Top 40 in the 80's

Tonight's audio adventure: Mixing monitors for Star Crawler and Rival Sons.

Grilling with the kids while mom and big sister are away.

What I remember is that I had just done Jaeger shots with Dave Ogilvie and I was remembering watching Jeremy run back and forth to FOH during Dave's band's set to give notes to whomever was mixing the show. I really appreciate that I got to see him action with multiple bands. You could tell he understood psycho-acoustics with a punk perspective

They tell you never to meet your heroes. I will never regret this encounter 12 years ago in San Francisco.

Honestly, it took me way too long to remember I had a CD player in my car. @conzoomrecords

Came home to a little something for Selma and a little something for me. Not really expecting her to get into Enya, but she really did turn me on to the new Paramore album. I dig it. I was probably her age when I got Watermark on cassette.

Today's stagehand adventure: Starting the day setting up for a NY Philharmonic rehearsal.

Pulling inspiration from the Downtempo genre, Secrets is an Avant-pop track that talks about a relationship where one person bares their soul to someone, but the other person betrays that trust. It's the first single from the upcoming album, 'We Are Absolute Garbage,' and co-written with Jason Bazinet (SMP, 16Volt), with the master of controllerism, Moldover, supporting on his robocaster. Tijen, once again, brings her tale of melancholic dysphoria with soul and yearning, while keeping it relatable. You will want to be the shoulder she cries on. Tijen and I will be debuting this track live on the same day at The Cluny 2 in Newcastle, England.
