Posted instagram.com/withregram | MY ALBUM IS OUT TOMORROW!!!!

Fun times with the mighty Pirehill boys!!!

FULL ON 60s Psychedelic vibes complete with 12-string Rick, Leslie speaker vocals, and of course, WHISTLE! 😙😙😙 Think of Pirehill as Stoke-on-Trent’s answer to Small Faces, garage-tastic!

Get in touch if you fancy making a bit of noise! 💥

ICYMI Doll Boy released the latest single FOOD AND WINE from their forthcoming debut album! Super exciting time for them & this is personally one of my favourites. Great fun recording drums, vocals, guitar & TRUMPET (!!!) and you can check it out wherever ya stream. Bottoms up! 🍷

◽️◽️◽️

Posted instagram.com/withregram • instagram.com/dollboy.band FOOD AND WINE is now available for your consumption at all the usual suspects, beginning with the link in our bio. Don't eat it all at once

This is the second single from our debut album WET YOUR BEAK which is in the wind and will land in your digital devices at the end of July ...

Thanks again to instagram.com/crikeystudioglasgow for helping us through this one and others - and special mention for our beloved instagram.com/morganfaepilled for doing the heavy lifting on the mix!

Thanks as well to instagram.com/alexhoweyart for another gorgeous artistic interpretation for which we are eternally grateful!

Cheers all, see you soon and such xx

Happy release day instagram.com/maxweaver.png ! Always a pleasure working with these guys and had a great time doing overdubs for this very fun one (recorded by friend of the studio Elise Atkinson). I FOUND MY HEART out now - give 'em a follow if you haven't already or catch them in GLA and EDI next month.

Message if you have overdubs, underdubs, or any other kind of dubs to record! 🥁🎸🎹

The first offering from Doll Boy's MACHINE-LIKE turn recording in Crikers is OUT NOW. Truly humbled by these folks' work ethic so do us a favour and go listen to Autumn Bulletin stat. It's really really good.

Drop a line if you're wanting to collaborate! 🎸

Posted instagram.com/withregram • instagram.com/dollboy.band RIGHT LISTEN UP - SINGLE OUT TOMORROW

Introducing AUTUMN BULLETIN, first single plucked from our upcoming album WET YOUR BEAK!

The irony of releasing a song about autumn at the beginning of spring is not lost on us - indeed, we imagine it only reinforces the image we steadily have crafted of ourselves as a group of chaos-sowing, off the rails, maniacal and nihilistic tricksters. In any case - enjoy # # # and there'll be plenty more to come believe you me

We'll be playing this tomorrow at Free Money alongside Vicious and Giant Hogweed - it's a good lineup what more can I say, get your tickets from our bio xx love Doll Boy

Thanks very much to the amazing instagram.com/alexhoweyart for making us this single cover !

Thanks as well to instagram.com/crikeystudioglasgow for helping us get this one done

Banjo in the bathroom? ✅
Acoustic through a Fender amp? ✅
Had a fun-packed couple of sessions with https://www.instagram.com/dollboy.band/ tracking what is safe to call a full length album!
Lovely bunch of folk and you are hereby COMMANDED to check back with them for a single in May 🫡

If you want to try and top the sheer volume of material Dollboy recorded in X hours (or stick to a single track) just drop a message 🥁

Happy to The Slackhead Incident! 🎉 Had the pleasure of recording & mixing Second Hand Living last month (some of the most fun I've ever had in a session) and WOW - what a song! Check it out stat + give the Slackheads a follow while you're at it 🖤

◽️◽️◽️

Posted @/withregram [IG] • @/theslackheadincident [IG] Second Hand Living is out today! Take a trip in the decommissioned Volvo and enjoy some of the latest Slackhead lore. We've had this song in many forms since October and we're so happy to finally put all the pieces together and get it out into the world. It's come a ways from our initial demo at UWS!

Special thanks to @/xenosthemenos [IG] at @/crikeystudioglasgow [IG] for all their help in producing the track, Last Punch Mastering for their lovely track mastering and to @/seanias [IG] for the amazing artwork.

Much love from the Slackheads xo

Had an absolute ball beginning recording with Shakey Tables at the weekend with not one but TWO left handed guitarists. We're pretty forward-thinking at Crikey so no knuckles were hit and instead ST laid down the groundwork for some VERY sweet tunes. Back to it this week! 🔥

Geez a message if we can help with anything you're working on! 🎸

◽️◽️◽️

Posted @/withregram • @/shakey_tables_band We had a blast yesterday with our first day of recording at @/crikeystudioglasgow ! We can not wait for next week to continue working on our tracks, and we really really cannot wait for when you can hear them!!

Watch this space 🪐

Happy belated Valentine's! 🌹 If you're wanting some good stompin music for your romantic getaway this weekend then look no further than /fresh/ single HELIUM from Yellow Helen. Had a blast recording this alongside its sibling Feels Good and the song feels like spring on the way eeeee 💛 Get your ears around it asap & geez a message if we can help with anything! ⤵️

HELIUM 🟡 February 14th 2024

Surprise! Anyone who listened to our lil appearance on @/trafficconeradiohour will have already heard but now that Feels Good is officially out, it's Helium's time to shine. They were recorded in the same session but I didn't really think of them being alike until now. They're about the same thing really. If Feels Good is a jolt of energy at kick off, Helium is an orange slice at half-time.

Recorded at @/crikeystudioglasgow and the living room and Lewis's bedroom
Engineered and produced by @/xenosthemenos
Mixed by Lewis
Mastered by @/o.turbitt.audio
Cover art by @/maxweaver.png

One of the best parts of recording bands is seeing folks really getting into the music they're making + The Slackhead Incident were cutting some major shapes last week whilst working on their new single. It's been a pleasure engineering this track - if you're into acts like Minutemen, Parquet Courts, Pavement, etc. (ie all the good stuff) I would STRONGLY ADVISE you go and give the Slackheads a follow. Ur gonna wanna hear this 🙏

Have a good Tuesday + pop us a message if you're looking to get recording! 🎸🥁🎹🎷🎻
