Tune in tomorrow night to watch MNDR perform 2 songs on Last Call With Carson Daly! The setlist includes “Fade To Black” and “Cut Me Out.” The all new episode also features Mike Mills and Foster the People. The show starts Tuesday May 24 at 1:35AM EST on NBC.
We dig this video featuring MNDR at this season’s first AUDIOPHILE show at The Brooklyn Museum. The footage captures the energy and slick museum aesthetic of a memorable night. 2 more shows on the horizon for the series.
After the devastating earthquake in Japan, WonderSound friends The Freelance Whales asked us to participate in a benefit EP to help Japan rebuild. We remixed “Hannah” and here’s how we did it.
The remix was programmed primarily on a Roland Jupiter 6 analog synth tracked through a Universal Audio 2-610 and Distressor. I cut up the original drums from the session, re-amped them, and layered them with 12 bit drum samples from my Yamaha RX5 drum machine. The concept was to build slowly, drop everything out and then experience a brain overload where we throw everything at it. With a stunning mix from studio engineer Emmett Farley, the remix of the popular single “Hannah” was born.

MNDR has released a surprise new breakdown of pop track “Cut Me Out.” Producer Peter Wade created this exclusive driving Dub version, specifically for Green Label Sound fans. It’s MNDR remixing MNDR and it’s free for download here!
Drums were sequenced on a Linn Drum and tracked right to analog 1/2″ tape with spring and delay printed live. Wade and Warner then laid live bass guitar, synths and hand claps recorded with natural reverb from the front hall of Wade’s former studio “LaBronze Johnson”. Two original heavily processed Jupiter-6 sounds were created to make up the synth bassline and pads. Then the FX were overdubbed while Warner kicked and prodded the spring reverb tank and Wade dialed up delay throws.
