If you’re an avid reader of the credits section on Bandcamp (or this blog), you probably know that I have produced and mixed almost everything Pelafina has ever released (with the exception of Familiar Places — all credit goes to Nick Stetina for that one). In a way, our discography is a living diary of me learning how to do this stuff. I’m also an inveterate tinkerer who isn’t ever really happy with anything I make. Nothing is ever done, only released, and occasionally something we released nags at me enough to take another shot at it. A couple months ago, I did a new mix of “Milestone,” our single from last year. We quietly snuck it out there this week (replacing the old one, George Lucas-style), so check it out to hear what we think is a much better version of this song.

Pelafina has another new song out today. “Twist the Knife” has been a long time in the making — we might even have started working on it pre-pandemic. I think the time paid off though, especially in the mix, which is probably my favorite yet.

Pelafina has a new song out today. I wrote the bones of this one at the depths of the pandemic (New Years Eve, 2020, if I recall correctly), and we slowly shaped it into a pretty cool single.

My first show since the pre-pandemic days is coming up on Saturday. Pelafina will be rocking the patio stage at Nightshop in Bloomington with Bottom Bracket and the Recombinants. Advance tickets are available here.
