Talkboy Confessions: Distractions
May 26th, 2011 § Leave a Comment

It’s hard to be bored in Chicago. From the CTA stations to the Empty Bottle, there’s good music in every corner waiting to be captured on tape. Distractions front-man Tom Owens is keen to this and has been posting quality mono-turned-stereo recordings on his brilliantSHYTAPER blog for quite a while. Feeling inspired, I recorded Distractions with a shitty Talkboy tape recorder earlier this week at the Empty Bottle and mastered it using a dbx noise compressor and a little EQ. Download the set here.
