Spent the last week making new records with Nervous Curtains and Deep Snapper, two bands I’ve worked with a lot previously. Both records are starting out great, and I can’t wait to get them done and out to the world.
This week’s session with Zapruder Sequence has been postponed due to the snowpocalypse occurring here in North Texas. Crossing my fingers I’ll be able to see my friends in the Yann Tiersen band tomorrow night in Dallas. (I was unable to do their tour due to other obligations. Heartbreaking. My buddy, Esteban Rey, is taking care of them this time around.)
Leaving for Japan on Feb 14 for 4 shows with Superchunk. We do 3 shows in March after that, 1 in Chapel Hill followed by 2 nights at Radio City Music Hall with Wild Flag and Bright Eyes. I’m excited and nervous as hell to mix there! We’re also going to Brazil in May, it looks like — two new continents to add to my list.
In between Superchunk stuff, I’ll be finishing up the new Chris Brokaw album. It’s a rock band album, kind of a cross between Red Cities and Incredible Love. I’m a huge fan and am honored to work on this with him.
Last, but not least, I’ll be out for a month in North America with Dan Bejar’s band, Destroyer, supporting their new album Kaputt. They have a new video that put me into hysterics, in a good way.
