SURPRISE BIG NEWS! I have a new record out today - my second of 2021. It’s a full-length cover of the iconic MOON SAFARI by one of my all time favorite bands, AIR. Available exclusively on vinyl and shipping immediately at the link in my bio via @turntablekitchen! I recorded every note of it all by myself at the beginning of this year, deep in quarantine and grateful for a project to pour myself into. It was so incredibly fun to do, and I couldn’t be more proud of the results. It also provided an interesting challenge: how do you "cover" a record that's nearly half instrumental? I enjoyed tweaking the sound palette quite a bit from the gauzy 60s to a more sleek 80s-flavored patina. Loops of lounge drums were replaced by a vintage Roland 707 drum machine. The ubiquitous vocoders had to go. Baroque acoustic pop grew some disco beats, and fuzz guitars roam the landscape here and there like predatory dinosaurs. Did I improve upon one of the greatest albums ever made? Of course not. But boy did I have a great time taking a swing at it. Guest vocals on ‘All I Need’ by the fantastic Katie Harkin (@harkathon) seriously incredible artwork by Katie Geppert (@katiegeppert), and mixed to absolute perfection by the inimitable Martin Cooke (@m_cooker). Also, you can listen to the first single, “Kelly Watch The Stars”, wherever you stream music. Thanks for listening, xo
