Manchester in studio.

by Dan Hannon

Last week was CRAZY!!! We’re still wrapping up The Enemy Lovers’ mixes and started recording the new Manchester Orchestra EP.  The EP (as I understand it) will be released along with the DVD this fall.  As expected, the new material is amazing.  The band has experienced so much positive growth since we recorded their debut LP almost 2 years ago. The candle was burned from both ends throughout last week because we are not only trying to record 4 new songs, but we are enjoying the chance to get this much time together since they hit the road over a year ago.  I feel EXTREMELY privileged to be working with the band again, because with big record label deals, come big label opportunities.  So, to be hired among so many other options (insert any BIG NAME producer here) is an incredible demonstration of loyalty and trust–musically speaking. Thanks to Andy, Jeremiah, Chris, Jay, and Robert.    

Enemy Lovers.

Dan Hannon has been finishing up producing a record for Tim Scroggs‘ band from Asheville NC, soon to be renamed The Enemy Lovers.  For those who’d like to see Dan and JAMM in action, here’s a snippet of studio life with Dan calling the shots and JAMM (offscreen) laying down a piano track on an Enemy Lovers song.  The clip opens with Tim’s million dollar smile.
