Mirror Mask: Maskies—Assemble
Just before Labor Day, Chad and I were able to interview 66.67% of the dreamy-garage-goth rock group MIRROR MASK! We talked about their formation, their aesthetic, the upcoming Mirror Mask album, and also, a few tangents into horror films, ashwaganda, and monochromatic stage outfits. Oh, and you'll hear us mention, toward the end, that they haven't quiiiiite settled on that album title, yet, but follow them on socials for updates <3  Mirror Mask are finishing up their new album; they worked with producer Greg Ahee and are currently mixing with Ahee and Kate Derringer.

"Four Track Zach" - Zach Shipps' RV Audio Lab
One of our all-time favorite engineers, Zach Shipps, joins us to talk about his life-in-sound(-recording)! Shipps takes us from the 90s, during his formative years as a music fan and musician who, even back then, was fascinated with recording technology and the techniques of the producers working behind the scenes of his (and our) favorite albums! Shipps was known as The Colonel during his time as a guitarist for The Electric Six, and has also worked with The Atomic Numbers, Mood Elevator, and Brendon Benson. In our chat, we dug into the early 2000s, when Shipps started getting deeper into a role as an engineer, aiding in the production of some of the best local albums of the last quarter-century! Towards the end, Shipps lists off some of his current projects, many of which will see the light of day soon, including the latest from Jesse Shepherd-Bates, and more! Tune in!
