Middle Man by Old Coast

8/25/2018

"It's been more than eight months since we've released any music. That's because we spent the better half of this past winter cooped up in our rehearsal space writing, rehearsing, and demoing songs for our first, full-length record, Middle Man. We teamed up with Ed Brooks of Resonant Mastering Studio (Fleet Foxes, Deathcab For Cutie) and began a month of intense pre-production under the direction of Ed and our own Luke Dumke in January of 2018. After cutting numerous demos and reworking songs, we eventually had a pretty good idea of what songs were going to make the cut and headed into Studio Litho to start tracking with engineer Floyd Reitsma (Courtney Marie Andrews, Noah Gundersen). We spent four days at Studio Litho, laying down basic live tracks, as well as instrumental and vocal overdubs, then fine tuned the record over the course of the next month and a half at Pinehill Studios with Luke Dumke. Once all the tracking was complete, we then headed back into Studio Litho for three days of mixing with Floyd Reitsma, who was able to artfully piece everything together. From there, we moved on to mastering with Rachel Field of Resonant Mastering Studio, who confidently took our final mixes to the next level and did an absolutely stunning job of polishing up Floyd's mixes. It's been an absolute pleasure to work with everyone involved in helping us make this record, and we're all extremely proud of the work we've done and what we've created."
