The skill level allows for the record to float between genres seamlessly, unable to stick to one certain genre, or even stay under the \u201cpsych\u201d umbrella. Certainly\u00a0Brian Jonestown Massacre\u00a0comes to mind, as member Ricky Maymi had a hand in production, yet it\u2019s easy to compare tracks like <em>Twisted Smile<\/em> to Britpop trailblazers like the\u00a0Jesus and Mary Chain\u00a0and the\u00a0Stone Roses. Not to be nailed down to one era either, Silent Pictures could be perfectly in line on a bill with more modern bands like\u00a0Allah Lahs\u00a0or\u00a0Kevin Morby.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Let It Begin&#8217; was recorded between 2014 and 2015 in California at Sky Lab Studio with\u00a0Tommy Dietrick\u00a0(Desert Stars Festival, David J) and on\u00a0Dave Grohl&#8217;slegendary Sound City Neve board at Studio 606. After all tracking and overdubs were completed, individual raw tracks were transferred to studios in Glasgow Scotland, Oslo Norway, San Francisco CA and Los Angeles CA and were mixed by\u00a0Dave Schiffman\u00a0(Johnny Cash, BRMC, Dandy Warhols, Charli XCX),\u00a0Joe Foster\u00a0(co-founder Creation Records, Television Personalities),\u00a0John Fryer\u00a0(This Mortal Coil, Cocteau Twins, 4AD),\u00a0Ricky Maymi\u00a0(Brian Jonestown Massacre, Wild Swans) After all mixes were complete, digital and vinyl mastering was done by\u00a0Howie Weinberg\u00a0(The Cure, Nirvana, The Clash).<\/p>\n<p>Every instrument and microphone went live to the board and was mastered in analog with knobs and dials and not a bunch of digital emulations and approximations of what live music should sound like. There is no use of digital vocal pitch corrected by auto tune.
