JHS teams up with AEA to showcase their new Colour Box 500! Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/0FrvYfaaM_A

Recorded at the AEA Studio with a minimal mic setup of all AEA ribbons, Mason Stoops’ trio of guitar, bass, and drums matches the classic vibe and tone of the ribbon mics. With four mics on drums, Sammy used spaced N8s on overheads running through two Colour Boxes, an R92 on kick, and a single R84 in front of the kit. Guitar and bass cabs were both miked with N22s through Colour Boxes, while an R88 stereo mic captured the natural ambience of the room. The JHS Colour Box packed a punch as Sammy added character and depth to the N8 overhead mics using the Colour Box’s special gain stage feature.

I see the dark beyond the light and pray to get home alive
Humbled and sobered, I take the lead
And then I draw back

Stay the moon

Arm in arm and home from war, fortresses overrun
A summer of dry hope falls away and then the white comes

Stay the moon

See the art in the baby's eyes
and the light to return home to tides of somewhere far
I might still be alive

I am a part
I am a piece
I am a psalm
I am the church
Another pawn with a back to break
Wishing on bold, gold corporate woes to burn and raze

You are the sea and the dark
An unknown goal without a mark
Come morning, you knock at the door with a basket of dried berries and sweet liqueur

Gold star to clear to bar for someone bleached in light
Skin and blood is warm to touch
Tomorrow's bite is cold
