Thighs Live @ CJLO

March 8 2013 // Sessions

Toronto's Thighs entered our studios on Saturday afternoon armed with a giant wall of cabs and amps that they ran their whole set up through. This made my job of recording it quite simple, when they were so in control of their sound. After setting up a few mics they proceeded to immediately rip into 3 songs off their new self-titled album.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra - II

February 22 2013 // Magazine // Music Reviews

 

I had never really heard Unknown Mortal Orchestra before listening to this album. I joked with some people at the station that it sounded like it should be a name for a metal band but it is far from it - I found this album to be quite boring really.
