Check it out, Magpie Cage is in the January EQ!
Currently working on WIno's solo record for Southern Lord. What a great session. I should post pictures of this man's pedal boards, it's like Mission Control. We had a great session of basic tracks this weekend, with the formidable rhythm session of Jean Paul Gaster and Jon Blank. Those three put down keeper basic tracks for 6 songs in 8 hours on Friday, and an amazing 15-minute jam in one take on Saturday. It's so awesome to record these kind of players, and these guys in particular.
