Amy Faden's music is so deeply personal, and intimate, and candid. I’ve had the incredible fortune - for years - of hearing her bedroom demos; they’ve always felt like someone sharing their diary, all honest love, and uncertain heartbreak.
She and her partner, Steve Novoa, invited me to a private, distanced, quarantined trip to the studio while they were tracking drums for their upcoming debut album.
Nothing makes me quite as happy as a chance to hang out at the studio and take photos with a musical soulmate.
There’s something so different about working in a real studio - the air is different, the sound is different, and the vibe is different. Working at home gives you the flexibility to record music on your own schedule, with a more cost-effective production; the studio, however, is more than just a room of expensive buttons and knobs - it’s a place where ideas have the chance to breathe.
