Noah Reid Instagram – Adjustments is out now. Says my name on the front of the record, but there are so many brilliant people who contributed to it. I’m so insanely grateful for all of them:
Matthew Barber. This guy has produced all three of my records, and this one’s my favourite. I love the way he hears it, I love the way he listens, I love that he knows which path to walk down, when to go further, when to head back. No one I trust more in a studio. What a dream collaborator.
This band. Matthew Bailey. Christine Bougie. Adrian Cook. Devon Henderson. Joshua Van Tassel. Insanely talented musicians and brilliant, beautiful people, all of them. To get to explore these songs with this band has been an incredible privilege. Joseph Shabason, Bryden Baird and Drew Jurecka adding depth and soul in isolation. I’m in awe of musicians.
The artists. Cosmo Dean designed and built a fucking life size Adjustments store with Trevor Wheatley, and they kept it in their studio until I could shoot the Adjustments Live video in front of it with the full band. Norman Wong shot the cover and directed the live show. Osker and Smug coming through to bless us with some grade A Toronto graffiti. My sister Thea consulting to help us get across the finish line.
The technical side. Expertly engineered by Chris Stringer with the assistance of Darren McGill at Union Sound Company in Toronto, beautifully mixed by Marcus Paquin, masterfully mastered by Gavin Lurssen.
My manager Sean Russell. What a game changer this guy is. No matter what the problem that needs solving, Sean dives in with a smile.
My community, my friends and family, who have supported me and lifted me up when I’ve most needed it, and who have kept my feet on the ground when I’ve needed that too. Lucky to have so many brilliant people in my life.
My wife Clare, who has been an unending supply of love and support, and who has helped me make every decision.
And finally, all of you who have found and listened to my music and connected with it and told someone about it. You’ve made this whole thing real. Can’t thank you enough. | Posted on 25/Jun/2022 02:52:20
