Selected Discography

“It's a pile-up of scattered influences and recycled ideas to be sure, but the execution is distinct. After years of seeming to chase after some kind of artistic growth, Babcock and his band have made the best album of their career by letting loose and playing to their strengths.” - Pitchfork 7.4

Album of the week - JamBase

The Society of Rockets - Future Factory (Recorded/Mixed)

Recorded to tape and mixed in Pro Tools at New, Improved Recording in Oakland, CA. Recording guru and all around rad fella, Eli Crews, also recorded this LP. Released on double white vinyl with stunning artwork by bandleader Joshua Babcock.

“…definitely Cure-inspired and NIN-inspired. Sometimes we all need to dance and feel gloomy at the same time.” StGA

“The sound is intense, dark guitar driven alternative music with a high tempo, good choruses and it is undeniably influenced by bands such as the Cocteaus, the Jesus and Mary Chain and the Cure.” - Nordic Music Review

The Foreign Resort - New Frontiers (Mastered)

Hailing from Copenhagen, Denmark, The Foreign Resort are one of the hardest working bands I’ve ever had the honor to work with. Recorded and mixed by legendary producer/musician, John Fryer (Depeche Mode, Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil), New Frontiers delivers on so many levels.

8/10 - New Musical Express

...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead vies for that piece of scarred, post-punk real estate somewhere between the Who and chucking a whirring blender full of bolts straight into a jet engine.” - All Music Guide - 4/5

And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead - Self Titled - (Recorded/Mixed/Mastered)

This was my first official foray into independent music. A first for the band, and myself, the original release from Trance Syndicate Records, was rough, but it opened a lot of doors for everybody involved. The reviews were generally great and even the legendary John Peel loved it… mission accomplished! The album was eventually remixed, remastered and reissued by Century Media.

“Expanding the boundaries of country music to the outer reaches of the Universe while still keeping it firmly tethered to its roots and origins is not an easy task, and one commonly fumbled by those who try. But being isolated in San Antonio away from the trend chasing of East Austin or East Nashville, and being just the right amount of weird, Garrett T. Capps is the man to get it done.” - Saving Country Music - 8/10

Garrett T. Capps - All Right, All Night - (Mastered)

I love working with this space cowboy! Garrett has brought me along for a few releases, but this is my favorite release so far! Mixed by musician extraordinaire and production wizard, Lucas Oswald, and produced by Adam Odor.

“I love it when an unknown band drops the hammer on me without warning and Witchcryer did just that. I can’t stop spinning this thing and I suspect I won’t be alone in this for long.” - Angry Metal Guy

“But before you start thinking this is gonna be your, what has become, stereotypical female-fronted occult metal, what we actually get is a ballsy bar-room doom rock record nodding more to the likes of Saint Vitus, Candlemass, Count Raven, Witchfinder General and, of course, Black Sabbath.” - Metal Forces

Witchcryer - Cry Witch - (Mastered)

Austin doom-metal masters, Witchcryer, delivered a massive debut with riffs for days! Expertly produced, recorded, and mixed by Brant Sankey at Studio E, this LP was an absolute treat to master. It should be noted that the digital vinyl pre-master was also used as the digital master for CDs and streaming/digital retail. Ask me about this approach.

We Is Shore Dedicated - I Want To Die Easy - (Mixed/Mastered)

This is a band that’s not easily labeled. Somewhere in-between Frank Zappa, Tom Waits, the Talking Heads and Russian folk tunes lies WISD. Sam Tsitrin’s ever-evolving project features a veritable smörgåsbord of top musicians from New York and the San Francisco/Bay Area. Deftly recorded at the Seaside Lounge in Brooklyn, NY.
