All Them Witches Recording New LP This Week at Abbey Road Studios
Uh, check out the rooftop har har? What do you even say when All Them Witches put out word that they and engineer Mikey Allred will spend the week making a new album at Abbey Road Studios in London? Way to use your recording budget wisely? When’s the release date?
All of that, I guess.
The pairing of place and producer is an interesting blend. Of course All Them Witches are veterans of the studio process at this point, but the thought of recording in such a hallowed space could be daunting, so the fact that they’re working with Mikey Allred, who has been a part of what they do for at least the last five years since helming their New West Records debut, Dying Surfer Meets His Maker (review here), as well as prior studio recordings, and even as guitarist Ben McLeod has emerged as a producer in his own right, has continued to work with the band up to mastering their latest offering, which was the 2019 single “1 x 1” (discussed here). As one also has to factor in that this will be their first time putting together an LP as a trio, they could hardly be in better hands in terms of someone who knows and is in touch with who they are as a band. It’s a veteran choice to bring their own dude. Kudos.
And hey, having recently posted some All Them Witches dates and speculated about soon-to-be-announced-secret-recording-plans, I’m gonna go ahead and give myself a pat on the back too.
Those dates — many of which are with Blackwater Holylight no less — follow their brief social media post here:
