Your records sound good by pretty much all standards, I seriously keep wondering if Best Coast ripped your recording style off.

Okay, I'm kidding about that part, but my point is that it sounds great. smile

Thanks for another great collection of songs. I would love to read a blog post or something on your recording and production techniques.

Thank you, I would love to do that actually, I kind of feel like it would be a little embarrassing considering my fairly amateurish recording style, but I love reading about how people record/mix/etc. and if folks are curious about anything I'm happy to oblige.

Please do. I have so many questions.

+1. I love the way your recordings sound. I'd love to hear details, no matter how "amateurish" they may seem to you.

Hey JAK, your songs reminds me a little of 90's indie stuff.

Monsters is clearly bossa nova, was that on purpouse?

And sorry to say that, but I still prefer Computer Savvy. tongue

Wow. This is really good, excellent work, sir ! I'm still waiting for a J. arthur physical release though...

I'd definitely like to know more about your recording / mixing habits, even if 95% of the job is to know how to listen I guess.

Hmm, I'm undecided on whether or not I like it, but the lyrics are top notch and the overall feel is quite elegant. Very well done.

Well then, I'll have to start thinking about how I would go about that writing a thing about how I record, should be fun, of course if anyone has any specific questions feel free to ask away.

Subway: Yes, it was very much on purpose; I've fallen deeply in love with Brazilian music over the past 1.5 years or so, Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa, Novos Baianos, Joao Gilberto, Jorge Ben, Os Mutantes, Nara Leao, Jobim (of course), Tom Ze, etc...I'm also fairly into '90s indie/alt rock/whatever stuff, so that makes sense.  And that's okay, I've started to like Computer Savvy myself, though I wasn't too fond of it at the time of it's release.

I suddenly remembered this record again a few days ago and it's the best thing ever I think.
