Vague Choir | Non-Ultra Joy

Non Ultra Joy by Vague Choir is an album I engineered and mixed. The production was heavily influenced by Steve Albini’s work, using distinctive recording spaces, room-miking techniques and tube amplifiers to capture the band’s character.

We explored unique room techniques throughout the sessions, including bathroom and long-hallway reverb miking. These natural acoustic effects became part of the recordings’ texture and atmosphere.

Guitars were recorded with a little Fender Bassmaster 1x10 and Fargen Blackbird tube combo amplifiers, with an Ampeg B15N flip-top bass amp. Vocal microphones included an RCA 44 ribbon and a Neumann U87.

Engineering and mixing: Jake Siever / JWSounds.
Mastering: Joe Gastwirt Mastering.
