Good things, hopefully, come to those who wait. DC‑based King Mixer has had a long run — over 20 years working and playing: a slow-moving project built on great songs and even greater friendship. When the band played out, they were formidable, memorable on stage. The primary recordings for this collection were made in 2015, when the band spent one very productive evening playing so students at American University's Audio Technology Program could practice recording. The rough mixes showed promise, and a final, careful mix was needed. Time passed and dust accumulated, but the recordings deserve to be heard. In 2023, the band committed to completing the project, and doing it right. This, then, is that. Nine songs complete. Over, done, and worth the work. Despite everything.
