[updates]

Hey there! It's sure been a good while since the last update, hasn't it? Rest assured, it's not for lack of activity around these parts. So far this year, we've had the pleasure of working with lots of old friends (Wingdale Community Singers, Sabrina Chap, Ryan Sawyer, AC Newman, The National, The Secret History, The Brother Reverend, David Grubbs, Neko Case, Matt Macaulay), and some new faces (They Might Be Giants, The Impressions with Binky Griptite and the Deekay's (!!). Raspberry Bulbs, Kevin Divine, Karen & the Sorrows, The Drowners, Hilly Eye, The Meaning of Life, Jesse Malin, The Livids). When we're not busy recording, we're fixing stuff, cleaning stuff, and sometimes even building stuff, with invaluable help from assistants James Higgs, Danielle DePalma, and Michael Ditrio, who also make excellent music of their own with Spanish Prisoners, Field Mouse, and Wood Spider, respectively. Charles Burst has been busy recording and mixing with Psychic Ills, Black Tabby, Volga Volga, Little Animal, I'm In You, and Kurt Kotheimer, but will be back on the road pretty soon, playing drums behind Paul Banks in the US and abroad. He's also a current member of Gabriel & the Hounds. Gabriel's excellent "Kiss Full of Teeth" is out now, recorded at Seaside and produced by our good friend, Phil Palazzolo, who is currently also producing new material for Bird of Youth, Takka Takka, and Will Sheff, with Seaside as the home base. Alright, back to work. Until next time! As always, just drop us a line if you want to discuss a project or set up a time to visit. We're only an email away!

     The studios are the product of Josh Clark and Charles Burst, longtime residents of Brooklyn and players of fine music. We built the entire space (with enormous help from Stephen Paul, Simon Kahn and friends. Thanks!), bought all the gear, maintain the gear (with some help from Andrew of Purple Audio, Matt of Coral Sound, and the fine folks of Main Drag Music), and we actually record sometimes. We have had the pleasure of working with many incredible bands, including Fergus and Geronimo, Nicole Atkins, The Pernice Brothers, Radical Dads, Ted Leo and The Pharmacists, Takka Takka, Obits, Beirut, The New Pornographers, Nina Nastasia, They Might Be Giants, Raspberry Bulbs, The Extra Lens, St. Vincent, Andrew Bird, Bird of Youth, Palomar, Julian Plenti, The National, Negative Plane, The Lisps, Westbound Train, Okkervil River, Crystal Stilts, People, The Stalkers, David Grubbs, Neko Case, Rick Moody, Tiny Masters of Today, The Wingdale Community Singers, Roadside Graves, The Secret History, The Ballet, Antietam, Peeesseye, Stars Like Fleas, Talibam!, Federale, The Special Pillow, Inouk, Sharon Jones, Antibalas, Hopewell, The Little Killers, Radio 4, The Oxford Collapse, The Double, Kele Okereke of Bloc Party, The Brought Low, Psychic Ills, The Rogers Sisters, The Waylons, The Cloud Room, Tralala, Mal Blum etc... Thanks to everyone for the help, word of mouth and beautiful sounds.
