This song has been with me for a while... David first brought it to me at the end of my time in NYC, and I immediately fell in love with it. Life, other projects, and our respective moves away to the West coast would get in the way of finishing it, and it would end up sitting around for the better part of a decade, until I found it sitting in a nondescript USB stick when I unpacked after moving back to Costa Rica. I immediately called David and we decided we needed to finish it. Working from half a continent away we both enlisted the help of trusted musicians, and we were able to finally finish this song.

Thanks to for trusting me to produce and mix this, for the gorgeous backing vocals, for putting up with my Glyn Johns obsession, for the great mastering work, and to all the other musicians that helped realize one of the songs that's been stuck in my mind and heart for a very long time. Hope those of you that get a moment to check it out get as much joy from listening to it as I did from making it with David.

VUMT Deluxe by is on all my mixes🎚️. This small footprint, inexpensive meter packs a bunch of cool features, including VU, RMS and PPM metering, and trim controls.

It also adds on filters, a single band dynamic EQ, and phase flip. Plus it's got a few skins and a handy spot to leave notes for yourself📝.

3 of my favorite saturation plugins: True Iron by has some awesome emulations of line transformers and a pretty straightforward UI making a great tool for a quick touch up, the HG-2 by is probably my all time favorite software tube processor because of its flexibility and just amazing sound overall, and then The Oven by , which has been the first tube saturation plugin in a while to make me consider using something other than the HG-2 on my mixbus. Plus, I'm a sucker for cooking metaphors in mixing.

Volcano 3 by is hands down my favorite filter plug out there. Super intuitive GUI, tons of filter models, and by far the most flexible I've found in terms of shaping creative filter effects, with lots of modulation options to make your tracks come alive.

One of my favorite reverbs that's made it's way into almost all my recent mixes. Atlantis Dual Chambers by is one of those few reverb plugins that gets that "real room reverb" feeling right, and has a ton of options to customize it so you can really dial it in to your record.
