After about eighteen months of living and working full time off the electrical grid - powered by the sun, the first fruits of my labor out here in the desert are becoming available for your listening pleasure. The Terry & Louie album, "... A Thousand Guitars," might be the most anticipated of the bunch and it's well worth the long, long wait. The album is all killer, no filler; ten powerpop rockers as you should expect from Terry Six and King Louie Bankston - even if it took them a full fifteen years to follow up their old band, The Exploding Hearts' classic album - Guitar Romantic, it's well worth the wait.
Terry Six tracked the album expertly in San Francisco and Oakland studios and then sent me the ProTools sessions to mix down here in my cabin. We passed mixes back and forth sporadically for a few weeks before Terry took the drive out to the edge of civilization to finish the mixes with me here in the Mojave Desert this past April. Ardavon Fatehi, the director of the upcoming official documentary about The Exploding Hearts, also joined us with a film crew to document the completion of the mixes. I'm sure my face went pale when I saw the film crew's lights being set up in my studio apartment sized home and work space. I was pretty sure, due to their size and the light's intensity, that the film lights would crash my power, but fortunately, it was all smooth sailing.
The title track is my pick for you to put on your stereo right now. Make sure you crank it up to eleven!
I'll be posting about a few other recent releases in which I'm involved later this week.
