We just finished recording a new single in ChurchHouse studio for the band Lather Scream Moment. It’s their first recorded song of original music. They found our studio online and decided to record here after hearing some of our work. It’s great that a bunch of newer bands have continued the culture of low-fi garage music. The truth is that this style has never really gone away. At times it has gone ‘underground’, but always seems to bubble back to the top when a band with great songs breaks through to the mainstream. When I say ‘mainstream’ I’m really talking about getting some plays and recognition. I honestly could not tell you what’s in the Billboard Top 10. Anyway, this gives me hope for the future. You always want to see new bands put their music out in the public arena regardless of what style of music they play.
It was a fun recording session. Lots of noise and guitars. A bit of controlled chaos. They gave me some examples of what they hoped for in the mix. As a recording engineer that’s a huge help. If you have an idea of what you want, let me know ahead of time. If you want me to decide how to produce the song, I’m good with that too.
There’s been a lot of discussion in the news about ‘the suburbs’ lately. They said the lyrics are about people who want to ‘escape’ the cities and when they move out develop ‘suburban paranoia’. As far as distributing the song they talked about putting it out on cassette. There’s been a vinyl revival and I guess some areas and scenes are having a cassette revival as well. Since they’re not from the area, they said they’ll keep in touch and let me know how it goes. Hopefully we’ll get to work with them again.
So here you go: Lather Scream Moment – ‘Suburban Renewal’
