Vague Choir — Wake Up, Breakdown | Non-Ultra Joy (2014)

From Vague Choir’s Non-Ultra Joy (2014). I engineered and mixed the album; mastering was by Joe Gastwirt.

The production was strongly influenced by Steve Albini, using distinctive room-miking techniques, including bathroom and long-hallway reverberation. The recording setup included Fender Bassmaster and Fargen Blackbird tube guitar amplifiers, an Ampeg B15N flip-top bass amp, and RCA 44 ribbon and Neumann U87 microphones for vocals.

Recording engineering and mixing: Jake Siever / JWSounds. Mastering: Joe Gastwirt.
