I co-produced and mixed The Heavy Hours, the Cincinnati quartet with long-time partner Simone Felice.
Adopting the band’s name from a line in William Butler Yeats’ ‘Autobiographies,’ The Heavy Hours came to Sun Mountain Studio.
“Desperate Days” is the light of the sun after a storm; the reward that comes after hope during hard times. It’s a song we wrote during our quarantine experience; it’s all about the silver linings of this strange year. We sent ideas and melodies over the phone to each other, wrote the lyrics to it on a rainy day in Ohio, and then recorded the track on a rainy day in Woodstock NY.
