New Tunes: The Means of Production – “Silver Pools”
New 
: The Means of Production’s new single and debut LP 
I was lucky enough to cut my teeth as a drummer on the road from 2016-20 with this group as the backing band for singer/songwriter/record-slanger Chi-Town’s own Ben Pirani. A monster part of paying my dues and getting the tour experience I needed. When the pandemic pumped the brakes on that, we worked as a studio band on a number of soul 45s on Colemine Records. We warmed up for those sessions by letting the tape run and doing the opposite of what we did for the sessions: fuzzy, freaked out, funky, not always prim and pretty improv stuff. Then edited down countless hours of jams Teo Macero style. Out on Royal Potato Family on June 14, but preorder is live now. See below:
