NEWS // Casey Black’s New Single Featuring Inara George of Bird and the Bee
A couple of months ago, we had the pleasure of tracking with the super groovy and ultra charming Inara George, of Bird and the Bee. We had a great session working on Casey Black’s latest single ‘Dig Together.’ Inara’s pure yet dissonant vocals added the right amount of retro for this pop addition to Casey’s upcoming full length album, Lay You In The Loam, which releases June 18.
NoiseTrade is featuring this single, along with previously released and mastered for iTunes ‘Fire Fire Fire Fire’ combined with 3 songs from Casey’s previous albums – all to create a snappy little EP called “From The Loam And Other Places.” They are offering the EP as a free download this week! Feel free to leave a tip for Casey if you are so inclined!
Thanks to Clay Blair at Boulevard Recording Studio for engineering and to Bryan Cook at Juice Monster for the fabulous mix!
Don’t forget to download the EP here:

NEWS // Hot In The Production House
We’re starting summer off right. The CatBeach Music folks spent a few days in Palm Springs to set the stage. And now that we’re all rested up, we’re right back at it.
This week we released Casey Black’s new video for Fire Fire Fire Fire, through Magnet Magazine to raving reviews, while also finalizing details on the upcoming album release, Lay You In The Loam, dropping on June 18th, with shows in New York City, Los Angeles and Nashville.
Following that goodness comes fielding’s EP, Our Side Is An Ocean, releasing this summer. With songs already placed on this year’s American Idol and the upcoming show, The Winner Is, you will LOVE this EP.
We’ve got a sweet Moxi show coming up this month at Hotel Cafe – June 28! And for all you Daena Jay fans, we’re soon to release a collaboration EP with MTV’s Hype Music. 4 new songs for your delight!
And if that weren’t enough, we started tracking Ryan Webster’s album, the newest of CatBeach artists! Today we’re stealing some time with Aaron Sterling before we lose him to John Mayer’s tour. This record will satisfy all of your 70’s meets Fleet Foxes needs. Coming this Fall!!
It’s hot in this production house!!!
NEWS // No-one Knows What They Are Doing
I saw this picture on Instagram a few weeks ago:
It was posted by a friend and great winemaker, Keith Saarloos. These were his notes for a lecture he was giving to a business class at USC.
These ‘notes’ have been in the back of my mind for the last few weeks. We just finished our 4th project, an album for Casey Black and are about to release an EP for fielding. Oh…and we’ve been working our catalog for a new show coming out on NBC this summer. Oh…and we’ve made some marketing plans with NoiseTrade. Oh…and we’ve negotiated contracts, finalized artwork, scheduled video shoots, played some gigs, booked more gigs, outlined manufacturing and distribution details and tidied up the accounting reports. and…and…and…
We set out, over a year ago, to start a boutique record label – one that would allow us to make great music with people that we truly care about and believe in. It was a simple idea. One that involved writing songs, recording songs, distributing songs and starting all over again. We totally knew what we were getting into.
UM…no!
We did not know what we were getting into…
it is SO much more than we thought.
And for just one second, we were overwhelmed by all that we didn’t ‘know’. The music biz is way more complicated and strategic than we ever dreamed, but…after that second passed, we re-grouped, counted our fingers and toes, pulled up our bootstraps and all that…and we’ve got our game faces on now…
….and each day is truly an adventure!
Keith’s point seems pretty clear coming from an entrepreneur to a classroom of students…study, learn, take it all in, but at a certain point – LEAP! The real learning comes from the actual experience. Step out, take a risk. Try. You may think you have learned ‘enough’ to begin your life’s journey, but once you get started, you too will realize that no-one really knows what they are doing!
(The more you know…blah blah blah…)!
