We hope you love it. We’re very proud.

This is sort of surreal … “Good to Me” has the most upvotes of any song currently playing on 94.9 The Bridge?? Death Cab for Cutie is currently at #2 … we’re at #1. Wild.

There’s a commercial AAA radio station in Oregon called 94.9 The Bridge that’s started playing some of Shannon’s music over the last year, and they just added a brand new song off the new unreleased album! The song is called “Good to Me,” and it’s currently in the top 5 listener upvoted songs. How incredibly cool. We made this recording in our house. :)

The Chris Bathgate record that I worked on for months in early 2021 is finally out in the world! I mixed and co-produced it.

The entire record has no guitar, and is based instead around a 19th-century pump organ that resides in a studio in Oakland, California. The organ is tuned about half a semitone down from normal modern pitches, so all the other instruments had to be tuned to the organ — in the case of the piano, this involved using varispeed on the multitrack tape deck to which the album was recorded, to slow the playback down slightly, thereby lowering the pitch to the tuning of the piano.

These variables combine to give the album a unique, unusual, and meditative feel. Here’s the Bandcamp link, for free listening; it’s also anywhere else you might listen to music. I hope you love it.

I’m having a strange out-of-body experience that I have every so often, of being obsessed with a song that I helped make.
