Pick That Producer

I'm sitting at work, coding, while listening to Tommy Keene's Based On Happy Times.

While starring at some code that's not working, I found myself really being absorbed sonically into If We Run Away, particularly how great the guitars sound. The arpeggio lines kind of hang, with just the right amount of "space", combined with a lot of little intricacies and layering that you don't neccesarily hear unless you're really listening. I love that shit.

Which got me thinking about producers, which I guess I think about more these days. And how whoever produced this record sure would make John Hampton proud. Because when it comes to what I described above, the pentultimate example of that sort of brillant production is of course New Miserable Experience.

The more I paid attention to If We Run Away, the more I noticed that similarity. By the end of the song, I was almost convinced that not only would this production make Hampton proud, it was actually good enough to be his production work. With all the producers out there, surely it couldn't be. Or could it?

A quick Google search revealed the answer. Producer: John Hampton.

Wow, I can pick them. Notch up another of my favorite albums (New Miserable Experience, Pleased To Meet Me and Based On Happy Times) that Hampton has a hand in.
Now Playing: Tommy Keene - If We Run Away
