Ayla Brook did sound for the Wafer Thin Mints today …and he appears to be the resident sound guy at the Black Dog - at least as far as I can tell. He’s the main guy behind the group AA Sound System. I got a first listen of their initial release titled “Lily Plain…You’re Hardly Poor” back in 2004 - I thought it was very good. Normally I reserve my ‘very goods’ for groups that I think are very good (lol) …but I truly thought it was - and I don’t really use that term a whole lot. The songwriting was great, as well as the guitar and vocals, and it was all recorded on his farm …out by a place called Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.
In about a month now, he’s going to be finished his solo album - I’m looking forward to hearing it. He told me there’s no drums on the thing - some token foot stomps and hand claps, but no drums. If I recall, I think it was the percussion on the initial disc that I thought was the weakest part.
That means I’m really looking forward to it.
