‘Say No More’ is the title track of Autumn Hollow’s second full-length album. The Boston-based band recorded all ten tracks at Medford’s Soul Shop with producer Elio DeLuca. With frontman Brendan Murphy on vocals, Mike Burke on guitar and newcomers Chuck Vath on bass and Ian McMillan on drums, the band has created a psychedelic americana manifesto. Guest contributors include Elio DeLuca on keyboards and percussion, pedal steel player Will Ellis Johnson, banjo virtuoso Gabe Hirshfeld, and vocalists Sarah Leveque and Peter Zarkadas.
Murphy reflects on how the group approached the recording process, “In a music landscape dominated by algorithmic precision, we wanted to make something refreshingly human, Every song was played live and fully arranged before we started recording, which gave us a strong foundation to build on while still leaving room for studio magic.”
