Atlanta indies Red Letter Agent (www.redletteragent.com) wrapped up their latest D.I.Y. release, Burn the Good Ones Down, at Sonica Recording (Atlanta) with studio owner John Briglevich co-producing and engineering.

Briglevich says that the studio's vintage API console and tracking room played a key role in RLA's “ambient” sound. “We were constantly experimenting with mics, instruments and spaces,” he adds. “From $10 toy mics to the BLUE Bottle, Lawsons and Neumanns, we tried it all. The 1176s and LA-2As got quite a workout, as well. Most important, the band has great songwriting and performing chops and an open mind about production.”

Local alt-rock superstation 99X recently placed the album's title track in heavy rotation — an opportunity given to few unsigned acts. The CD is available in Atlanta-area retail outlets and on iTunes.
