My new EP, Shortwaving, is out now!
Born in a mercurial flash of phosphor, sweat, and static, this work was recorded in a single day at Secret Studio during the height of the Ohio summer. Lydia Loveless skillfully captured and engineered each song as they ricocheted in the live room and settled into each mic she placed. Sam Brown encapsulated the electricity in his titanic drumming and the great Todd May conducted choirs of feedback over the tunes. Katie Harriman showed up on her birthday and sang harmonies on the title track with precision. Caeleigh Featherstone meticulously mixed the tracks between tours. Michael Trepagnier contributed his knowledge and assisted in engineering. Rebecca Sarkar helped me manage the chaos, encouraged triumph on my first independent release in years, and took all the photography for the EP in the refinery yards of west Tulsa. Shannon Sipes designed the album cover, nearly ten years after she worked on my last EP.
Thank you all, this is your record as much as it is mine.
John
