Brand New Band • Page 346

I'd be down for the homie that produced TBEITBN. That thing sounded amazing.

 

Watch him help record another Thrice album before we get this one.

 

YOUSHUTYOURDIRTYMOU—

I'm okay with this.

 

I'm trying to imagine how this would sound because he's worked with so many bands and artists and what I'm thinking of the most is Weezer and that's bizarre. What'd you have in mind?

Looked through his disco, Moving Mountains was most interesting to see

 

Any of those or Nick Sansano (Daydream Nation, Goo)

 

that would be interesting to hear, didn't even consider that kind of washed out, in and out focus sort of quality for them

 

Eric Palmquist for sure

 

Will Yip lol

 

they should pull a thursday and work with dave fridmann.

 

El-P

 

THIS okay good answer

 

none of the answers make any sense to me but i could totally see them making some dope shit with fridmann

 

I'm gonna go a little out of left field and say Aaron Marsh. I want Brand New to record with Aaron Marsh.

 

or worst if you dont like his style haha, so many people complain about his drums.

 

Brand New just happens to be pretty versatile in the stuff they do, so I think most people are just putting out what if scenarios (as did I) with producers who might coax something new out of them. Fridmann is a good answer because Thursday is roughly an analogous peer so I can see where that'd go already. I still would like something that digs deeper into their influences though (like Albini)

 

his drums are definitely distinct and a sort of love em or hate em type of thing. i see so many comments on the new baroness songs about how bad everyone thinks the mixing/drums are and im just yo this shit is dope dave did it again

 

The first time I listened to Common Existence I thought the drums sounded off. Like especially hollow. I think it helps with the atmosphere now though

 

i will say the snare sound on common existence is terrible

 

my problem with the drums on common existence is that there's two different snare sounds (neither are good) presumably one being used as a trigger and they switch off and its distracting as hell, i think this happens on last call or resuscitation

 

that might be what I was thinking of maybe, my ear isn't sharp enough to really detect things beyond "off" and "good", to my tastes, anyway. I am not so bothered by it anymore, but it was a pretty jarring thing at first because the drums always sounded really clear and crisp but still kind of...spacey? to me (is dry the right word?) sound stuff is hard to talk about

 

oh shit I forgot this isn't the Thursday thread my bad lol!!

 

justin meldal-johnsen

 

actually itd be the opposite of dry, wet, because fridmann does use a lot of space to achieve the sounds he wants. he also overdrives and compresses his drums a lot, on purpose, to make them really, i guess, sizzle. see: lonerism by tame impala or the woods by sleater kinney.



im majoring in audio production and almost done with my degree so i know a lot about this kind of stuff haha

 

a rick rubin produced brand new record would sound like shit

 

rick rubin's track record when it comes to rock music is shoddy at best. when it comes to rap it's mostly great.
