In 2004, TW was in Pedro the Lion, and they recorded one of his songs for their album Achilles Heel. Here’s the original demo for that song, recorded in 2002.
One of the best parts of this job is getting to meet and work with some of the nicest, smartest, most talented people in the world. We’ve decided to start a regular series here called “Favorite People”.
Eric Ambel is one of those people I feel lucky to know. If I need to find out something about music, audio gear, bikes, politics or food… Eric is the first guy I ask.
He also happens to be a world-class producer and musician. Check him out here.
Here’s a recent nugget of wisdom from Eric… ”Spotify: the music service for music fans who don’t care about the people that make their music.”
We’re pleased to announce that TW Walsh has officially joined the Undertow roster. We’ve been friends and fans of TW’s for many years and it’s a pleasure to be working with him again. His most recent album “Songs of Pain and Leisure” has been in constant rotation here since it was released. Please take some time to explore this amazing album and all of TW’s back catalog on his Bandcamp page.
In addition to making music we love, TW is a busy and accomplished mixing and mastering engineer. His recent client list includes Sufjan Stevens, David Bazan, Cold War Kids, Rosie Thomas, Richard Swift, Damien Jurado and others.
Stay tuned for more news.
