Owls spent a few days in the beautiful setting of the Dolwilym Estate in the company of Jethro Chaplin and his quite incredible studio. The weather couldn’t have been better for October, mild during the days and a little parky at night, nothing that couldn’t be remedied by the open fire in the ‘Kitchen’ accommodation (itself quite incredible). Day one saw us set up and after a bit of mix and match we had a lovely punchy drum sound, as well as a Bass sound from Chris’ vintage Ampeg flip top bass amp. By day two we had recorded all of the drums and most of the bass and shaken off the hangover. Day three saw us track some guitars and vocals, day four more of the same. All in all a great few days, a wicked sound, lovely walks, loads of laughs, wine and trivial pursuit. Big up to Jethro and the happy hardcore vibes….see you on the dance floor.
