Had a fantastic time recording, mixing, and mastering this EP from Seattle psych rock band Peyote Ugly. We tracked drums at Earwig in Wallingford (RIP to that wonderful room, but stoked to see Don’s new place take shape) then the band took that to their home studio and finished off tracking. We mixed everything together over a few days up at my home studio in Bellingham (these are really dense multi-layered tracks and it was great to have input from the band) and then I mastered the EP. Overall, it was a great experience and I’m really proud of how this one turned out; these are some of the most complicated mixes I’ve worked on.
