APRIL REPORT MARCH STUDIO STUDIO REPORT ALL ANALOG RECORDING!  2" 24-Track Analog Tape David Shankle at Ranger Studios At ELECTRICAL AUDIO hard rocking troubadour Robert Rolfe Feddersen recorded “Pepper In His Heart" with leg- endary producer Steve Albini. This is RRF’s third album with Albini. “It’s a big deal to work with Steve Albini,” Feddersen told IE. “Steve has ideas and preferences in the studio and always wants to make great music. At the same time, he works to record what I want, what my vision is.” At RANGER STUDIOS in Franklin Park, acclaimed Chicago-based guitarist Dave Shankle (Manowar) stopped by to preview the upgrades to the sound & lights in the showcase room. Shankle will be a Goodwill Ambassador for Ranger in 2019 when he goes on tour. Bassist Joe Cuttone from The Hounds rehearsed in Room 5 with drummer Greg K of Who’s Next. Also at Ranger, Donna Frost (whose uncle was the late Felton Jarvis, Elvis’ producer) fin- ished her second showcase on their show- case stage last month and is due back in July. At GRAVITY STUDIOS Chicago-based shoegazer Ivor Lane just released his EP Postplay which was produced and engi- neered by Daniel Farnsworth. The Big Takeover said Postplay is "an EP in a world of its own that is at once both deeply alluring and vaguely frightening, and they have crafted something entirely timeless because of the songs’ utter originality."
