| “On last year’s Blues Explosion album, Damage. “Jay took a long jam and cut it down to an exciting two-minute piece, with his own horn arrangement,” says Blues Explosion frontman Jon Spencer. Drummer Russell Simins adds, “He made it out of control in a really tight way-and that’s exactly how we like it.”
“They’ve just wrapped up a record with producer Jay Braun, recorded “guerilla style” over the course of only three days.“It’s one of the best experiences I’ve had in my life,” Ray says of the record” From “Working Girl, Shilpa Ray as a rock ‘n’ roll madam”, Oct 28,
“Jay Braun said, “Yeah, let’s do it,” and we spent a week recording and doing what became the initial mixing, and then we went over it again, and it was the best recording experience I have ever had. It was just like lightning; it was so quick. Jay is really good at, like, capturing drum sounds and getting your best takes. He’s fun to work with, and he understands my bullshit jargon. “I want this to sound like teddy bears running through a field of lilies,” and he knows exactly what I’m talking about. We have a good dialogue.” Shilpa Ray Interview, kevchino.com
“Jay Braun has the unique gift of being absolutely meticulous and punk rock at the same time… and he was friends with Bob Quine so you know he’s a pervert.”‘ Russell Simmins to Matt Sweeny, Empire VU, 2006 |
