The Bug Club - Mr Anyways Holey Spirits Perform! One Foot In Bethlehem

Wonderful artwork by the talented MR BEN (and the Bens), as always!

Ahoy - recently mastered a 14-track live album by the mighty The Bug Club that came out today - enjoy! It’s all very Sgt. Peppers - they turn up in mad costumes and support themselves (!) on their own headline shows as a band called “Mr Anyways Holey Spirits”. And then ‘the man’ decided that they should release it under their own name anyway. Mixed by the prolific Tom Arthur Rees!

It’s available to buy/download here on Bandcamp and iTunes (yes it’s still a thing), or you can stream it at:

Spotify | Apple Music | TIDAL | Amazon Music

Spotify and Apple Music Streams below for a nice preview.

P.S. There’s a song called ‘Eddie Says My Songs Are Whack’ and it’s worth pointing out that it must be from a different Eddie as I think their songs awesome. Also it’s not New York in 1994.

The Family Battenberg - Feed Yer (Nganga) & Fuzzy Features

The Bug Club - Green Dream in F#

It’s a dog conducting other animals playing instruments in space, I think. Don’t you even dare comment on the whole no air/sound in space thing you bore.

Mastered this incredible album by The Bug Club. An absolute pleasure! Out now on Bingo Records, with beautiful album artwork on the right by the talented Mr Ben.

Listen on Tidal (yep), Spotify or Apple Music (or stream below) or even support them directly on Bandcamp. It’s all over 6Music and all the trendy places, so that’s nice.

I love these guys, they’re real life friends and they’re currently on tour to support their album and you can catch all the tour dates here. You just missed them at Scala though. You should have been there, maaan.

With love,

Loathe - Dimorphous Display

Ahoy - ‘new’ music is here - well new to this page anyway. I worked with the mighty Loathe on Dimorphous Display, released back in January (2022) on Sharptone Records. I wasn’t able to post about it at the time due to life reasons, but here it is. I recorded/produced/mixed and co-mastered this track, with lots of input from the band too, of course.

I love getting the opportunity to work on heavier music and these guys are some of the most talented musicians I’ve had the pleasure of working with; super keen to experiment and try new things, yet also really clear on the sounds and textures they want.

Check it out on Apple Music and Spotify, or click on the official YouTube steam below…

Oh, and enjoy some photos from the session, the cool black and white photos were taken by the multi-talented Feisal El-Khazragi (bass guitar in Loathe) - hence why he’s not in any of them!. He has his own photography Instagram here. The colour ones are just my iPhone snaps of the session.

There’s loads more I could share about this track, and more praise I could heap on the band, but I’ll let you listen for yourself.

Enjoy,

Ed ❤️🎚🎛

P.S. If any Loathe fans ever find this page, rest assured that despite what keyboard warriors and bedroom producers say on the internet, there were no drum samples used on this track, no amp emulators, no 808s…

Mansell - Big Chandelier

Last week my friends from Atlanta - Mansell - released their EP ‘Big Chandelier’, which I was lucky enough to mix and master. The 5 track EP is so beautiful (not just because I mixed it, ahem), but their songwriting, playing, arrangments and voices are all world class. Honestly, their music is a masterclass in minimalism - each song may only have a few parts, but every part is full of purpose and the sound is huge.

This project and their music sits very close to my heart, so if you’ve taken the time to come to this page, and like some of the music I’ve been involved in, I hope that you can take some time to listen to this EP. I’ve even provided Spotify and Apple Music links and players (below) because I like to be helpful. I’m almost certain that you’re going to love it. Check out the awesome artwork by Loo Gray below too - the grey cover is the official one, but the two alternate images are brilliant too. It seems like they’re most active on Instagram, so be sure to give them a follow there too.

I hope that you enjoy the music and also wish for you to have a great day.

With love,

Ed ❤️🎚🎛
