GOODNIGHT, HANGER STUDIO…
Goodnight ramps
Goodnight amps
Goodnight group of microphone stands.
Goodnight pedals
and tangled cords…
Goodnight speakers…
and mixing boards.
Goodnight beers
Goodnight fears
Goodnight fits of joyful cheers.
Goodnight drones in good headphones
Goodnight risers…
and synthesizers.
Goodnight switches
Goodnight kitchen
Goodnight late nights of unproductive bitching.
Goodnight stairs
Goodnight snares
Goodnight studios everywhere…

Hi from Sacramento! We’re here mixing our album at remarkable downtown studio called The Hanger:
We’ve been having the most perfect mixing experience imaginable: we’re avoiding the hellacious East Coast cold front, we’re cooking beautiful meals in a well-stocked kitchen, and the studio has spacious rooms filled with pianos, vintage synths, vibes and more all for our amusement. It’s like we’ve died and gone to keyboard heaven. And the album is sounding *amazing*–if I dare say so myself. We’re pretty thrilled. I just can’t wait to have the final mixed and mastered record IN MY HANDS so I can play it for friends without talking loudly over it about all the things that need to change. I know I’ve said it a million times now, but Thom is a genius. We couldn’t have asked for a better producer. He completely gets our aesthetic, and is nice and easy to work with. We got pretty lucky.
Besides mixing 24/7, I’m writing to announce my new tumblr site. I was telling my friend, Matthew, about how I wish I blogged more, but I never have the time, and he suggested that I tumble for all my ADD moments of inspiration and save this blog for my more ’serious’ writing. So here it is:

Check there for my random musings and here for the interviews and longer posts. I recently interviewed the very wonderful photographer/documentary filmmaker, David Black, and will be posting that very soon.
Till then, visit my tumblr!
