Jack Shirley - Atomic Garden Studios, Comadre, Everybody Row, Dangers

<p>This week, Andy is joined by Jack Shirley, owner and engineer at <a href="https://www.theatomicgarden.com/">Atomic Garden Studios</a> in Oakland, CA. He has engineered, produced and mastered records for a dynamic group of artists, everyone from <a href="https://thebadcopy.com/topic/jeff-rosenstock/">Jeff Rosenstock</a> to <a href="https://thebadcopy.com/topic/deafheaven/">Deafheaven</a> to <a href="https://thebadcopy.com/topic/western-addiction/">Western Addiction</a> and all sorts of bands in-between.</p> <p>Also a musician himself, Jack cut his teeth in the post-hardcore band <a href="https://comadre.bandcamp.com/">Comadre</a>, who released 4 albums in their tenure and toured all over the U.S. and Japan. Most recently, he has been performing with the bands <a href="https://everybodyrow.bandcamp.com/">Everybody Row</a> and <a href="https://wearedangers.bandcamp.com/">Dangers</a>.</p> <p>As a producer and engineer, Jack Shirley tends to take a more hands off approach, not unlike another well known engineer/producer - Steve Albini.&nbsp; He tends to let the music come together more organically rather than spending a ton of time on production just for the sake of production, though he'll certainly offer his opinion when asked for it.</p> <p>There have been several albums that he has worked on that have landed on a grip of 'Best Of' lists such as Deafheaven's <em>Sunbather</em> &amp; <em>New Bermuda</em>, as well as Jeff Rosenstock's <em>No Dream </em>&amp;&nbsp;<em>POST-. </em>&nbsp;Along with well over 50 albums on his resume, he has certainly earned his spot as a highly sought after producer within the punk, hardcore and metal scenes.</p> <p>To checkout his studio, head to - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?v=3P_1uJABOG4&amp;event=video_description&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theatomicgarden.com%2F&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbXNERFBraFltNHZjbDA5ejVJVGpQTmxtN1V5QXxBQ3Jtc0trbUR0M2VjWGtmVi11ZFdweWhVeGl2UnhhOGhyQllzWGs0Tk04elFlRDBqLTBXSkpUU0NKWE9ZS0xLYW5VendaaFlLNjVmY29TNGJlMV81Qnp4NmhQQ2llN0pCeHBvODhpbkduU0hhRH
