The biggest & warmest congrats to Scott Kimble & the other guys in Terminus Victor for the release of their beautiful and thunderous new record. I’ve always dug and deeply appreciated their take on heavier rock. They do it sooooooooo well. ♥️ Take a listen and consider pre-ordering the vinyl or at least going to their next show. They worked with my guys Matt Talbott & James Treichler, and that whole team created something pretty darn amazing.

William Gillespie, my longtime friend, novelist, dad guy, and now legit songwriter, has released the full-length album we’ve been working on for the past few years here are at Perennial Sound Studio. He opened himself up to the awesomely vulnerable and intimate process of co-producing an album of incredibly personal songs with me, and I’m so proud of him for sticking to the process, working through the hard times, and shining in the moments that mattered most. Please check out this album and send love his way for the amazing accomplishment!

This December I will be celebrating 10 years of owning Perennial Sound Studio here in Champaign. As a little early celebration, I had my dearest friend and Modern Drugs bandmate Mallory Simonds make this beautiful variation of my studio logo. And my longtime shirt wizard Mike Alves printed them juuuuust right. I have them for sale and will continue to print them as long as people want them. Let me know if you wanna share the love! ♥️

Friends! I’ve been working with this talented and passionate human, Sarah Durbin, for about six years now here at the studio and we’ve really been making some magic together. Here’s the newest single we just wrapped up and released. Give it a listen, give it some love, then share it with some folks if you would! ♥️ (Mixed by Joe Costa • Mastered by Dan Shike - Tone and Volume Mastering)
