about

Plaingsongs was recorded on analogue tape at New Cut Studios in Bristol by Scot McKenzie, March and April 2023. The basic tracks were all cut live in one room with my bandmates, Paul, Joe, Hugh and Rich. The album was mixed to analogue tape by Drezz and mixed to digital by Scot. It was mastered by Barry Gardner at Safe and Sound Mastering.
