PICTURE OF THE WEEK

THE TASTEMAKERS Today’s opinion formers predict tomorrow’s headline acts SYNC STORY GAV WILLIAMS BOWLEGS The tale behind a standout sync deal in the industry this week… 1 Hot Panda • Language Mint Records With treble-high strumming frenetically to a rolling beat, Hot Panda's new single kicks up a euphoric riot. Any danger of inward-looking pretension is knowingly stamped out beneath its wheels, with a wave of Mexican brass at the back end colouring the picture to a joyous point of saturation. STEVE BONIFACE LABELLED INDEPENDENT 2 Miccoli • Idle Stranger AFA Records Family three piece Miccoli show a real lightness of touch with ‘Idle Stranger’, a track chock full of strong dynamics. The slow build opening breaks naturally into a chorus with blended, unison vocals to great effect before dropping out to the bare bones again, a trick used excellently throughout.

10 Music Week 31.08.12 www.musicweek.com THE BIG INTERVIEW ETHAN JOHNS

One of the industry’s most sought-after producers talks to Music Week about making ‘human records’ PRODUCTION I BY TOM PAKINKIS

t’s the bushy grey beard that makes it hard to put an age on Ethan Johns. Or rather, it’s the fact I that a symbol of wisdom earned from decades of experience, hugs a face that looks like it never left its thirties. Appropriately, while much of the conversation we throw at the MPG’s 2012 Producer Of The Year is met with middle-distance stares contemplating a long career, the awe and enthusiasm that Johns shows for artists he has worked with exposes a wide-eyed, youthful joy. Like the music he helps create, there’s a timelessness to Ethan Johns - one that comes from a lack of pretence. It’s a philosophy that seems to cement everything he does. As we talk about the art of production and the music industry at large, the lauded producer always circles a central goal: to make the most honest records possible...

How would you describe your sound? I think there’s a really strong element of humanity running through my records. I don’t overly process or overly edit things. I like unadulterated performances, I like to hear the human and the soul behind the performance. That’s why I like to record live, primarily. I never put vocals on after. All of the records that I’ve done that you would know have been sung live with the band because, to get an appropriate performance out of the music, you have to have it inspired by HONEST that vocal. You can’t put the vocal on last because you’re denying the the ability to react to the vocal performance. It just makes sense to me. The standard way of making records now is to do a bit of pre-production, get tempo maps and then go in and spend two weeks cutting the drums or whatever. Then, once the drummer’s bit is done, he’s JOHNS got nothing to do for the rest of the record. Then the bass player will do his thing and he’s gone. It’s a very divisive way of working, I find. It’s not a collaborative process. If you put everyone in a room together, it gives you a much better perspective on when an is right and when it’s not. The only way to really make those decisions is to hear it and to play it together.

What about location? Do you have a favourite “When you’re at the studio? end of life, your I don’t really. I image records in different ways bank balance isn’t before I make them. When we made [Ryan Adams’ going to mean shit. debut album] Heartbreaker, I’d never set foot in Woodland [Studios in Nashville]. It was a distant What you stood for studio that Ryan found and it was just perfect. is going to really Every studio is going to lend itself to different count. That’s what’s records. There are certain records that I just don’t going to make your want to work on in a studio so we’ll go to a location. exit a smooth one” I’ve made records in hotels, in rehearsal rooms, houses… I made a record in a squash court once.

record. Sunset Sound Studio 3 in Los Angeles is another one of my favourites, or what used to be Cello. Good studios are still crucial, I think, and it’s a shame that a lot of them are closing now because the options are becoming smaller and smaller.

Was the squash court a sonic choice? Actually no. I made part of a record with Counting Crows many years ago and they had rented a house up on Mulholland and built this studio in a squash court. Every record has its own set of requirements and it’s got as much to do with the atmosphere of a place as it does the sound. The sound is obviously crucial but you have to also take into account where it is and the kind of person the artist is; where they’re at, whether or not they need structure. If you feel it would benefit the artist to be on a tight schedule, in a professional studio, on the clock then you go to British Grove or somewhere like that. But if you want an environment where the artist doesn’t necessarily know they’re recording, I might go to somewhere like Real World, which has a completely unique atmosphere and just feels like a ABOVE beautiful room. inspired I’m going to do bad work and I don’t want Ethan after all: over areas of the job that at one time were solely the I remember when we did the first Tom Jones to do bad work.
