Congrats to Mackenzie Roark and the Hotpants and this great writeup by Style Weekly!!
****The bandleader was looking to scale up, and Red Amp Audio had just what she was looking for. "It was really cool to be in the space,” Roark says. “The isolation booths and the big room, and there’s the control room with the giant board and everything’s happening. It really put us in that head space of ‘We’re making a great album right now.’” She hoped to capture a “retro, throwback sound with a modern twist,” a reflection of her band’s shared love for music recorded in the 1970s.***
The instruments they found at Red Amp — as well as the knowledge of its gear-hoarding owner, Jody Boyd — helped them hit that mark.
