Anatomy of Sound

gravity — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:35:17 +0000

What started as one day tracking one song turned into an eight song EP. These guys are young, but incredibly talented. Deeply moody and pulling influence from Coldplay, Death Cab For Cutie, U2 and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Soundscape EP blurs the lines between alt-rock and pop. Engineered and mixed by Joseph Peven, and Mastered by Doug McBride it is worth checking out.

Windy City Rock Lists Gravity as Top Recording Studio in Chicago

brett — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 16:54:46 +0000

Windy City Rock named us the top studio in Chicago!

Behind every amazing record is an equally amazing recording studio.

Even the most talented musicians can fall victim to shoddy recordings, so a band’s decision on where to lay down, mix and master their material can make a world of difference to how they’re perceived by listeners…..

It’s no surprise that Chicago – with a music scene so notable and diverse – is home to a host of top-notch studios geared to both indie and major acts. If you’re looking to record in the Windy City, here, in no particular order, are five of the Chicagoland’s best recording studios:

- Gravity Studios (2250 W. North Ave., Chicago) – Wicker Park’s Gravity Studios has developed a reputation as one of the best studios in Chicagoland, and for good reason. Since 1993, artists such as The Smashing Pumpkins, Umphrey’s McGee, The Walkmen, Veruca Salt, The Sounds, Ben Kweller and Silversun Pickups have produced noteworthy recordings with the studio’s help. The studio is not only a viable option for widely-known bands, though. Up-and-coming local acts such as My My My and Mr. Russia have also turned to Gravity and have achieved excellent results.
