Chicago’s Joe George is releasing his new solo record FOLK CINEMA on August 10, 2024 on the Storm Chasers LTD label. Brian Deck recorded, mixed and co-produced it with Joe at Narwhal including mixing it on the console in Studio B. Joe also worked on it in his own studio, Gentle Bear, which is Narwhal’s neighbor at 1644 N Honore.
“When Narwhal became the home of my latest record - FOLK CINEMA - many creative doors opened for me. Narwhal is a beautifully equipped, well engineered, creative place to make your music sound better. The process of FOLK CINEMA went like this: I recorded/experimented with the songs on my own, and then brought everything to Brian Deck at Narwhal and we furthered the process with more tracking, more experimenting, and solidifying a vision for the whole record. This process was equal parts personally rewarding as it was collaborative. The idea of bringing my ideas to Narwhal, and running them through great minds (Brian/Jim) and through great gear (you name it), became an awesome creative reality. The process was efficient, transparent, and safe. The record turned out inventive, exciting, and professionally produced. I'll be doing more there.”
