The Unknown

Whiskey Class - I Get It

I recorded, produced, and mixed this epic record by Seattle/Juneau rock band Whiskey Class. This one of my favorite records I’ve had the pleasure of working on and I’m really proud of how we all came together and made this one happen. Most of the tracking was done at the Unknown Recording Studio in Anacortes, WA with some additional tracking done at my home studio, the band’s houses, and a studio up in Juneau. This record was a big departure in sound for the group - which was formerly just Liz and Patrick - morphing into a full-on rock band when they introduced Alex on guitar. I was truly humbled by the trust this group put in me to make this transition smoothly and to execute the epic vision of this album. There’s a lot of layers on this record and these were pretty intense mixes to put together, but I think the end result is quite impressive - and best of all I have three new friends in my life. Put on some decent headphones and dive in!

Laamb - Bam Bam/FJ

Recorded, mixed, and mastered this single/b-side for Seattle rockers, Laamb. Had a great time tracking this down at The Unknown in Anacortes over a weekend.
