Hiding In Plain Sight

[BACK IN STOCK online, also available at Easy Street Records, Sonic Boom, Georgetown Records, all Third Place Books locations and Nellis Records.]

16-page, 8x8 cardstock booklet exploring the under-the-radar recording studios of Seattle & Tacoma that have been home to over 60 years of record-making in the Puget Sound. Featuring original illustrations, logo designs and studio profiles by KEXP engineer and NW-music enthusiast Jackson Long.

Featured studios:

Audio Recording Inc. (Kearney Barton)
Wiley-Griffith
London Bridge Studio
Reciprocal Recording
The Hall of Justice
Egg Studios
Avast!
Studio Litho
Soundhouse
Uptone.

Note: This booklet doesn’t focus on the technical side of the studios. I approached the project from a place of civic pride for these buildings. As landmarks that most wouldn’t pay attention to, but should. Long live these institutions and the fabulous Northwest sound.
