What’s New? Also, Jamie Lidell + the Morning Benders are great

April 1st, 2010

Howdy folks!

Exciting times over here in Wilcassettes-land. Busy busy BIZZZZ-ZAY! Wanted to give y’all a little update:

1) Two new remixes on the horizon, and oddly enough, both feature female vocalists. I never realized it until now, but everybody I’ve worked with so far has been male-fronted bands… Go figure. Anyhoo, I’m really quite excited about these, and I think/hope y’all are gonna like ‘em – stay tuned, next one is coming out soon enough…

2) I’m getting back to writing and recording my own stuff, full-steam ahead. Sketching out ideas for the next record, what it’s going to sound like, and who I’m going to be working with. Granted it’s all very early on, but I’ve more or less finished a song already, and I’m just generally pumped.

3) As you may recall, over the past several months I’ve been co-producing the next album by Project Jenny Project Jan. We are wrapping up final mixes this week and next, and this little baby is sounding SO good. I’m so proud of them, and I’m even more proud to be a part of it.

4) Jamie Lidell… He’s my hero, and he’s got a new record coming out… and I recently had the pleasure of meeting him and interviewing him for Planet Magazine. The interview should be dropping soon, I’ll be sure to link it up to y’all as soon as it does… And for the record, his album is jaw-droppingly sick… you’ll be hearing it soon enough, but here’s a making-of video to whet your appetite:

5) Annnnnnd lastly, I’ve been listening to this band, The Morning Benders quite a bit lately. They have a new album that came out called “Big Echo,” and it’s lovely. Give them a spin if you’re in the market for summery, surfy, Beach-Boys-y indie rock. Here’s their song, “Excuses”:
