    Yeah dude! Always pumped to peep a new Shimmer Island jam and this does not disappoint! I gotta listen on my real speakers before offering any mix/level feedback, but for a late-night laptop listen it’s sounding bumpin and beautiful. Love that 90s-esque shuffle beat!

    Will circle back soon once I’ve listened in my studio, homey. Great stuff, as always! 🤘

    Joe! Man – even tho I forgot to reply to this until just now, I did read it when you posted and added to my holiday queue and me and my fam listened to the whole album prob 5 or 6 times over the break via Spotify on our Sonos system while decorating and cooking. What a wonderful album, sonically and shredding-ly! And loved the youtube vid too, man! Thanks so much for sharing!

    Re battery & solar, for the Endless Field album we used a Goal Zero battery with an additional solar panel that hooks up to the battery with a long cord, which allowed us to hide with our equipment in a least a little bit of shade while the solar panel cooked out in the direct sunlight. @jlew still has the battery and panel as far as I know and he and @horse continue to get use out of it I think!

    Love it, man! I know the lyric is supposed to be sad, but this puts a smile on my face. Hope your Christmas was very not-blue!

    Yeah, Paul!! Damn, sorry I’m so late getting to this glorious garage choir – you sound killer! I’m assuming that’s you sangin’ and self-harmonizing? Very cool. Feel like this would fit perfectly into a Cohen Brothers film. A distinctive, charming and memorable twist on a classic. Well done! And hope your holidays were “divine!”

    Very cool intro idea, Paul! I didn’t mind @shimmerisland‘s abstract intro as it was, but I dig your version mucho as well! Curious what Jeremy thinks of your AI/RX wizardry… 🪄🦄

    💜 Thanks, @joerobinson – been a devastating time for so many here in L.A. My home thankfully was not in danger, but so many dear friends here have been really affected and/or lost their entire homes and studios. Just heartbreaking. Thanks for your care and concern, brother.

  • @jlew! Awe, I’m so glad, man – thank you!! Looking fwd to doing another Zoom like this soon…

    Hit me with any specific topic ideas!

    Haha – You just haven’t heard this side of Jesse before! Check out this album he made back in 2008 that I mixed which reminds me of his new track “Blisters.”

    @jlew – hearing this album again just now was so fun! It’s so good. And when I hear it I am instantly COLD 🥶 from the memories of being in that (amazing) vacant, mostly-unheated hanger of a studio in Oakland, CA during the winter.
