DECEMBER 2009

December was primarily dedicated to the mixing of the new My Tiny Circus album that's due to come out the end of Jan. The band has some absolutely stunning new material boasting infectious melody lines and lush arrangements. It was a total pleasure to work on!

Their CD release party is scheduled for Jan 30 at the Mercury Lounge in Ottawa.

Keep in mind our Holiday Hours for Dec/Jan - the studio will be closed from Sat Dec 19/2009 to Sun Jan 3/2010. Normal business hours will resume on Mon Jan 4, 2010.

Season's Greetings to everyone and all the best for the New Year!
