About Me

My name is charles austin i'm a musician and recorder of music based in halifax, nova scotia. i run a messy studio called the echo chamber and make records with people like gabe minnikin, david myles, buck 65, laura peek, matt mays etc.This is my first solo project after years of playing in bands like superfriendz, al tuck and no action, plaskett emergency (early version), neuseiland, buck 65, rhinoplasty, soaking up jagged, iron egg, etc.i worked on these songs mainly by myself, benn ross played drums, graeme campbell mixed it. i wanted to make something to fit on my record shelf in between syd barrett, willie nelson, and n. young. in the process i pretty much lost it. happy listening!
