Matt and I helped Justin tonight with the mastering for his upcoming tape release on Teen River. Let me tell you, Olympic Village by J Fernandez is going to blow you away. Justin is one of the best musicians I know, and has lent a distinct style to a number of great bands, including Distractions, Thin Hymns, Netherfriends, and… Houtakker. I knew this tape would be good, but it still managed to catch me off guard. Managing to evade being pegged into one particular genre, yet more cohesive then your average c30, this is a true dark horse for the ol’ blogosphere reviewers. I would totally blog about this. I can’t wait until 2012 to hear this thing dubbed on a real cassette tape!
