We love all the musicians we get to meet running a recording studio in New York, just so many of the best musicians really do come through Manhattan. But the coolest thing about the digital age is that we get the chance to work with musicians all over the globe. One of our most popular services is remote mastering, and we were lucky enough to get to do this for Comments and Concerns from Canada. These guys had a pretty cool concept for their album, which was a double EP: one acoustic and one electric. This kind of double album, or A and B side lent itself really nicely to these guys’ indie strengths. Here’s what the guys had to say about their album, entitled ‘Alibi’:
The Alibi project is the debut record from Comments and Concerns. It was intentionally written, recorded and produced as two separate albums, Pt. 1 and Pt. 2. This separation is a reflection of the band’s past, present and a glimpse at the future. Pt. 1 is a fond, child-like, reflection on memories, loved ones and significant life moments. It features acoustic driven, sing-songwriter style songs laced with warm bass lines and intricate percussive elements for an easy listening, lighthearted feel. Pt. 2 is a portrayal of Comments and Concerns present style, with a taste of their future. It’s a mysterious collection of sounds that search for answers through syncopated rhythms and ambient guitar parts. Comments and Concerns has high expectations for their future, but vow to never forget their past. This record is a tribute to both.
