2010 so far...

Hi all,

For those of you who have seen the website, you will notice that it's had a complete overhaul - new music, new reviews, new photos and a serious re-wording! Please have a look around (www.anchorbabyrecordings.com) and listen to the MP3s which I have tried to keep varied. There's some ambient/experimental stuff (Phoria), some acoustic folk/indie from Keith James and Klaus, some hardcore/punk/indie from Jairus, Yamaharahara and Kid Pang, pop-punk from Ocean Skylight and rock/nu wave from CWB!

2010 has been a really busy year for me, getting off to a great start with the new Tortilla Army album 'One For The Living' - and I am glad that my recording/production service is finally reaching a point where I don't have to pay to advertise!

I have recently had the likes of Elephants (www.myspace.com/fullyelephants) in the studio to record and mix their new creations since the line-up change, it's sounding a lot more energetic than their older material and will potentially be mastered by Nick Zampiello at New Alliance East, who previously mastered the Jairus EP 'Build My Gallows High'last year!

Other recent clients include:

YAMAHARAHARA (www.myspace.com/yamaharahara) - an amazing new band from Folkestone, similar in style to Meet Me In St Louis with female vocals.

CWB (www.myspace.com/bandcwb) - Female fronted alt/rock from Canterbury, AMAZING songs.

KLAUS (www.myspace.com/klaussaysbytherecord) - Finalist in the Orange Unsigned Act 2009 on Channel 4. Beautiful acoustic indie!

I have also had the pleasure of recording and mixing Surgery Without Research, Fuck That!, the new Jairus version of the Pink Floyd song 'Sheep', Ocean Skylight, The Dead Ends, Cats & Cats & Cats, Blue Train, The Ambience (album finished soon!) and many more.

2010 will continue to be a busy and interesting year, with future recordings booked including Counterfeit Notes, Jairus and more!

More news very very soon!
