About Me

Meanwhiles' site
Some words on their first record, The Nights Rewind..After having attracted the attention of Sparklehorse/Mary Timony/Comas producer Alan Weatherhead at a live performance in 2003, the band jumped at the chance to mix their first album with him in March of 2004 at Virginias Sound of Music Studios. Weatherheads touch at the control board enhanced the natural sonic beauty of Meanwhiles music, and brought the grace and power of a big studio sound to their home recordings. Martha Wainwright adds the rich tones of her voice to the mix with some high and lonesome harmony vocals. You can hear the results in their first full-length record "The Nights Rewind", available for download at the iTunes music store or for purchase here through cdbaby.com...
