Propellerhead Home Sessions: Amber Rubarth, Courtney Jones + Peter Malick

Feb 16, 2011, 8:23pm Luxury Wafers
Record Home Sessions - Courtney Jones
This was fun. Even before the 'Pie and Tart' home studio was built out and put together, our good friends from Propellerhead suggested the kind of 2-day bash we can really dig: freeform recording with friends who are top singer-songwriters and players. The equation, which produced good times and two awesome new songs (listen and [...]

Crystal Antlers: reflections, refinements, and now what?!

Feb 4, 2011, 4:19pm Luxury Wafers
Summer Solstice by Crystal Antlers
While sorting through cyber-mountains of files during re-entry to the Luxury Wafers atmosphere, I ran across this video of one of my all-time most memorable and favorite sessions: Crystal Antlers. Oh man. Awesome. Details of the session are blurry in my memory. From the calendar, I know it was late afternoon in July of 2009. [...]

Hello again, dear Wafer lovers!

Jan 12, 2011, 11:28pm Luxury Wafers
Hola! Que tal? Where to begin?! I've missed you, friends. It's been so long. There was a time when I was exhausted and nauseated. Then I swelled to unbelievably enormous proportions. Then, after the passing of numerous moons, I sprung a new little Waferlet. She's 5 months old now and, happily, she happens to dig good [...]

May 14, 2010, 12:55pm Luxury Wafers
Butch Norton and Peter Malick are longtime friends and lifelong players. When the two get together it's always shenanigans of the best variety. Part mad scientist, part steady mountain, Butch (Eels, Lucinda Williams) enlivens anything from a standard drum kit to fancy specialized percussion instruments to appliance parts. With inexhaustible awe, Butch hears opportunity for [...]

The Most Serene Republic, a 7 piece collective from Ontario, Canada, smooths rough edges with their exquisitely fluid pools of pop buoyed by piano, guitar, bass and drums, animated by Adrian and Emma's dreamy voices and elegantly embellished with brass and banjo.

Apr 14, 2010, 4:50pm Luxury Wafers
What I love about the young, old-sounding souls, Wye Oak from Baltimore, is the womb they create. Between Jenn Wasner's mesmerizing, melty voice - like warm poured liquid - plus heavily enveloping guitar and Andy Stack's arrangements, which include crashing cymbals, pounding drums and keyboard drones, there's a wall of insulation erected that begs escape [...]

Family of the Year: Chugjug [mp3], Chrissy [mp3] plus new tour and EP

Apr 6, 2010, 1:32pm Luxury Wafers
Funny thing. On yesterday's rainy cool LA morning, I stumbled across a golden new Family of the Year track: Chugjug [mp3] from their new 4-song EP Through the Trees (Hero, Chugjug, The Barn, and The Princess and The Pea) which even sports a reggae-flavored piece with contribution from friend and LW veteran Willy Mason.
