So, we started setting up at 12, its now 1am and we've almost finished mixing down the KUTOSIS live session for Jen Long's Radio One show. It's sounding great. These guys have some great tunes constructed with driving drums, fuzzy bass and angular guitar riffs with vocals sounding like the audio equivalent of a panic attack (in a good way). Imagine if bloc party's first album was a rhythm section and it met up with at the drive-in's vocal patterns and sweet juxtaposition guitars. It would be pretty great right. Well stop imagining because it's here, in person and on record. In a world of boring Redrow homes they truly are an innovative grand design, comfortable and functional yet extremely enjoyable and exciting to live in. Check them here Specs: Was nice to use a vintage d12 on the kick, along with the fet47 and ns10 driver. On the snare we tried out taping a 451 to an audix i5. used a neumann kam84i instead of the 451. can't remember why but it worked a treat. I love tracking drums out at Monnow Valley. its harder to make them bad than good. the room is just so great. We also used a bunch of eumann 87s as well as a neve ribbon mic up in the room. Spacious. Guitar was recorded with my peavey classic 50 and the bass was di'd with a sansamp. The session is going to be aired on the 13th of November so if you fancy a late one that night, get on it...or if you have a job to get up for, iplayer might be for you.
