Earlier this year, I spent 10 days in the studio with Tegan and Sara and John Congleton, re-imagining songs from their 25 year catalog for their upcoming story via Audible, which will be available December 1. I contributed keyboards, guitar, bass, piano, programming, and 808’s.
TEGAN + SARA ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM
New Tegan and Sara album coming October 21. Crybaby was co-produced by Tegan and Sara with John Congleton at Studio Litho in Seattle and Sargent Recorders in Los Angeles. Thanks John Congleton for inviting me to be a part of it.
This record will always hold a special place in my heart, cut it was my first in-person tracking session post lockdown, and I was set up right next to my good friend Joey Waronker, out on the cutting floor.
I contributed electric guitar, bass, synths, mellotron, celeste, piano, acoustic guitar, and arp programming.
Wishing this one all the best.
