Lacquer Channel Mastering

They don’t call me ‘Canada’s Golden Ears’ for nothing! I’m pleased to announce that I recently mastered the Junior Boys phenomenal new hit album “Begone Dull Care”. After almost forty years of working as a Senior Mastering Engineer, I am very thankful that revolutionary bands and producers continue to seek out my ears and experience for their ground-breaking records.

When the Junior Boys called me about mastering their new record, I knew it was a sort of extraordinary album that would need a lot of attention to detail.  It’s my job to add the finishing touches, and I worked my magic in the studio, adding some subtle finishing notes.  I can’t tell you everything I did to the record, because I have to keep a few secrets you know!  But I will tell you that utilized the equipment here at Lacquer Channel so that the original dynamic range of the record stayed intact.  I really wanted to make sure that sonically speaking, the album had some room to breathe.

Here’s what a few kind folks have said about “Begone Dull Care”…

“An album that drops all smoke and mirrors to stand as one of the most forward-thinking electronic pop records in ages” – Exclaim! Magazine

“The album definitely sounds like the product of million-dollar multi-tracking” – Pitchfork

“These tracks by singer Jeremy Greenspan and programmer Matt Didemus reveal acute detailing” -Spin Magazine

“The duo’s new album… throws it down, both sonically as well as interpersonally” -Slant Magazine

Congratulations again Boys on all your success with the album so far!
