Los Angeles’ own Fool’s Gold were in the studio last month with Principal Recording Engineer Eric Palmquist working on their forthcoming album, Leave No Trace. Set for release August 16th via IAMSOUND, the album was just previewed on Pitchfork, including a video trailer complete with scenes from the studio and our ‘hood. Check out the full story here.
Pete Lyman, Principal Mastering Engineer at Infrasonic Sound, will join Kevin Smith of Bill Smith Custom Records, Jennifer Freund of DoradoPkg, Peanut Butter Wolf of Stones Throw Records and moderator Neil Scheild for a Q&A and panel discussion at the GRAMMY Museum about the in’s and out’s of vinyl production. This event is FREE and open to the public. Check out www.grammymuseum.org for RSVP details.
Pete Lyman recently spoke with OC Weekly about mastering to vinyl and his take on everyone’s favorite topic: the vinyl resurgence. Check out the full article, by Brandon Ferguson, here!
Infrasonic had a whirl-wind weekend down in Austin for SXSW. Not only did Slang Chickens play some killer shows, but Pete Lyman spoke on the panel “Vinyl 3.0 – Challenges & Rewards” bright and early on Saturday morning. For those of you who weren’t in Austin, or couldn’t shake the hangover and drag yourself to the convention center, a podcast of the panel is now available online.

The panel was an informative mix of how records actually get made along with tips and FAQ’s for those who haven’t experienced the process of putting out vinyl. The age-old 180 gram debate also surfaced (of course) and the panelists cleared up some of the myths (read them here, here and here). For the record, 180g doesn’t sound any better than your standard weight LP. Check out some clarifications about this and other vinyl myths here.
Thanks to all those who bought us beers, checked out a show or attended the panel!
