A recording studio that also puts the records out

Lathe House (sample) is four rooms in an old Springfield print works: a live room for the whole band, a vocal booth, a control room and a cutting room where we cut the lacquers for vinyl. Book a day, an EP or an album. If we love it, we may release it.

Formats, years and pressings (sample).

All releases
An open upright piano and its stool in a studio room lined with grey acoustic foam, a microphone stand and a music stand beside it

Four rooms in an old print works

The live room was the press hall: a high ceiling, a wooden floor and walls we lined ourselves. Everything else opens off it, so the band can see each other and the engineer.

Every session comes with an engineer. Bring your instruments; the drum kit, the upright piano, the amps and the microphones are here.

Live room

9 x 7 m, 4.8 m ceiling

The whole band playing at once: drums, upright piano, amps behind screens, room for six.

Vocal booth

2.5 x 2 m

Vocals and quiet instruments, with a window onto the control room and the live room.

Control room

6 x 5 m

A 24-channel analogue console, a 16-track two-inch tape machine and a computer system side by side.

Cutting room

4 x 3 m

Our lathe: lacquers for the pressing plant and one-off records cut while you wait.

From first take to test pressing

The same six steps for every record we make, whether it comes out on our label or on yours.

1

Tracking

The band plays together in the live room. We keep the takes that have life in them, not the tidiest ones.

2

Overdubs

Vocals, solos and extra parts in the booth, one at a time, with the band’s take in your headphones.

3

Mixing

In the control room. You sit in for the last pass of every song and take the mixes home overnight.

4

Mastering

Level, running order and the gaps between songs; one master for vinyl, one for streaming.

5

Lacquer cut

We cut each side on our lathe. The lacquers go to the pressing plant by courier the same day.

6

Test pressing

A white-label copy comes back from the plant. Nothing is pressed until you have played it and said yes.

Send us a demo

We put out four to six records a year (sample), so we listen to everything and say yes rarely. Three songs is enough; a phone recording is fine if the song is there.

What we listen for

  • Songs that still work with one instrument and a voice
  • A band or artist who plays live, or wants to
  • Something we have not already put out this year
