Some words on their first record, The Nights Rewind..
After having attracted the attention of Sparklehorse/Mary Timony/Comas producer Alan Weatherhead at a live performance in 2003, the band jumped at the chance to mix their first album with him in March of 2004 at Virginias Sound of Music Studios. Weatherheads touch at the control board enhanced the natural sonic beauty of Meanwhiles music, and brought the grace and power of a big studio sound to their home recordings. Martha Wainwright adds the rich tones of her voice to the mix with some high and lonesome harmony vocals. You can hear the results in their first full-length record "The Nights Rewind", available for download at the iTunes music store or for purchase here through cdbaby.com...
Same thoughts here. We are currently addicted by "TV", "Casting A Light" and "Whenever You Need Me", probably listened to the album now about fifteen times at least.
Hey Josh and Todd, Just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful gig and hanging out next day. I hope you made it safe up to Holland, and enjoy the rest of your time in Europe. Can't get your new CD outta my car stereo, it's stuck on repeat., which is a good thing.
It was again, as expected, a huge pleasure to have you here with us!!! I wish you all the best for all those remaining gigs and hope you enjoyed yourselves! Many greetings and hopefully until very soon!! Anna-Lena xxx
Thanks Josh, that would be supercool if that works out. Happily write down here also that I really really like your music and am anyhow looking forward to see you and Nadine back here again in Berlin soon. Good luck with everything you pursue, your ongoing tour & shows. Gonzalo
hi meanwhiles, there's a sadness and a width in your music that very much attracts me. it's nice to know that there are familiar souls across the ocean. hope to make it to your concert in hamburg. best wishes, jürgen
I do a site you might dig. It's all about art, music, literature, and we're taking a firsthand look at medical marijuana in California. Check it out and spread the love. Carpe Diem, WJ
