Year Away

Description

Once again, Johansing enlisted some of the best musicians from northeast Los Angeles’ vibrant musical community to participate in the recording. The 70s R&B-folk of "Watch It Like a Show" features an electric guitar solo from Hand Habits’ Meg Duffy, while the album's closing track, "Endless Sound," benefits from backing vocals by electronic musician Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith and Indian-inspired violins from Amir Yaghmai (HAIM, The Voidz). The record sparkles thanks to mixing from veteran producer Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliott Smith, Cat Power), woodwinds from Logan Hone (John Carroll Kirby, Eddie Chacon), and a rhythm section comprised of drummer Josh Adams (Jenny Lewis, Bedouine) and bassist Todd Dahlhoff (Feist, Devendra Banhart). Recorded across multiple studios, including the renowned Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, the album is supported by engineering from Tyler Karmen (MGMT, Alvvays).
