New mixes for grunge-pop band LICKER.
June 15, 2010 – 1:16 amChicago based songwriter, Gordon Vanguard and his grunge-pop band Licker recently did some mix work at Droptone. The band recorded a handful of new songs a few months back at local recording school, IPR. With bare mixes in hand, they asked me to polish them up. I really enjoyed working on Gordon’s songs, and I know you’ll enjoy listening to them. After a bit more editing than planned, Gordon and I dug into the tunes and started mixing. We spent 2 days in the studio equalizing, compressing, tuning, limiting, balancing, and adding reverb, delays, and other effects. Although I wish I had the opportunity to record this band myself and spend more time with the mixes, I’m very proud of how far these tracks came along. Take a listen to the tracks below and I’m sure you’ll be rockin right out of your chair before you know it.
