Damian Taylor,
(Bjork, The Killers, The Prodigy, Austra, Diamond
Rings) is in like a lion... and out like a lion this month! The
music industry powerhouse recently worked on two innovative electronica
albums, Trust’s Joyland and Roman Remains' Zeal,
both of which were simultaneously released on March 4, 2014.
Toronto artist, Robert Alfons, most commonly known
as Trust, returns to The Lodge to master his hugely
anticipated sophomore album Joyland. The album was produced and
sonically crafted by Alfons, while Damian Taylor lent his hand
to the mixing. Joyland, mastered by Chief Mastering
Engineer, Emily Lazar at The Lodge in NYC and assisted by Rich Morales, was
released via Arts & Crafts and the album is already a
favorite among admiring fans.
It has also received high praise from Pitchfork, Stereogum,
and Fader. Pretty Much Amazing boldly states,
“Joyland takes the house – and trance – indebted elements of TRST at
it’s most danceable and blows them up from basement to stadium size.”
See Trust perform live on April 10, 2014 at Le Poisson Rouge. Listen to Trust’s first single “Rescue,
Mister” off of Joyland below.
London/LA duo Roman Remains’ debut LP, Zeal,
was released through HOT Records Ltd. Roman Remains is
comprised of Liela Moss and Toby Butler of the band, The Duke
Spirit. Originally a side project, the pair wrote and recorded their entire
debut album amid breaks in the band’s touring schedule. Produced by
multi-instrumentalist Toby Butler and co-produced by Simon Byrt,
the pair reached out to Damian Taylor to mix the highly anticipated
debut album, and to help the band transition from their familiar rock sound
into a much darker infectious electronic harmony. Prior to Zeal,
the band released a stirring four-song EP titled, Energy You, which was
also expertly mixed by Damian Taylor, mastered by Emily Lazar at The Lodge.

Roman Remains will be performing at South by Southwest Music and Media Conference (SXSW) in Austin, TX on March 13, 2014.
