“I grew up a few blocks from Tower Records on east 4th street in NYC when CDs were the thing. I always felt like a kid in a candy store sifting through the albums.”
“What I didn’t know then was how much lush, uncompressed, instrumentation I was being deprived of by only listening to digital music. Vinyl just makes it all come to life. Now when I listen to the mainstream digital media, I feel like I need to pop my ears!
My first vinyl record was a special edition from my favorite band Pearl Jam. Although my own music is very different, I am a huge ’90s grunge fan. When I played the record, I was blown away by the depth, texture, and contrast between the low and high end of the track.
This is how music was meant to be heard. I hope that vinyl can make an even bigger comeback so the next generation can fully experience and appreciate what music can sound like at its best.”
