The record was recorded over the last few years, and follows the EPs\u00a0<em>Up to You\u00a0<\/em>(2019) and\u00a0<em>Forever Holiday\u00a0<\/em>(2021). The latter release included the single &#8216;Johatsu&#8217;, KESMAR&#8217;s most\u00a0popular release to date, which features guest vocals from French pop singer <a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/feeds\/Flore-Benguigui\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flore Benguigui<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The New South Welsh songwriter&#8217;s latest single, &#8216;Out of Luck&#8217;, is the first taste of the upcoming record. &#8220;This tune is basically a covid tune,&#8221; said KESMAR&#8217;s Nathan Hawes. &#8220;It&#8217;s about waking up late, feeling like you&#8217;re going in circles.&#8221; Like many of KESMAR&#8217;s previous releases, &#8216;Out of Luck&#8217; is stamped with Hawes&#8217; affection for vintage studio sounds and &#8217;70s singer-songwriter pop. Here, KESMAR gives us a rundown of his favourite studio toys.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Kesmar \u2013 &#8216;Out of Luck&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1.7777777777778;\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pBiefz01DV8\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><b>1979 TEAC M15 24 Channel Console\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The console is the heart of the studio. It\u2019s the front end of all the recording \u2013 everything goes through the preamps on the console before going to tape or my DAW. It just sounds like the &#8217;70s, slow, fat sound transformers. Since making this new record, I have moved onto a small 16 channel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prosoundweb.com\/the-days-of-rosewood-iron-restoring-and-enhancing-an-early-80s-mixer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yamaha M1516<\/a>, but for the time I had the TEAC, it really just did its job.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Fender Rhodes Mark I<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>This is a recent addition to the studio. Funnily enough, I have two at my house at the moment; one is on loan from a buddy. After a week of having his on loan, I knew I needed to buy one. I found one cheap a week later and it is now a staple of the studio. It was modified by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fenderrhodes.com\/history\/dyno.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dyno-My-Piano<\/a> in 1979, giving it more versatile EQ. It can pull some serious tone.<\/p>\n<h3><b>1976 Ludwig Super Classic Drum Kit\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Another one I can\u2019t live without. Really just an amazing kit, sounds seriously killer. Most of my instruments are from around 1970-1982. It&#8217;s just a time period I\u2019m really drawn to, so whenever something good or whacky comes up from the &#8217;70s, I\u2019ll buy it and try it. This kit will never be sold, it\u2019s so dear to my heart.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-511227 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/09\/KESMAR.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/09\/KESMAR.jpg 640w, https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/09\/KESMAR.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/09\/KESMAR.jpg?resize=101,57 101w, https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/09\/KESMAR.jpg?resize=203,114 203w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Roland Juno-60<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Between the Juno-60 and the original Minimoog, you can cover a lot of synthesiser ground. I like things to be simple and easy to use, probably why I love the Juno so much. It was my first synth, I bought it a few years back because I love the sound, but also I just loved how simple it was. But don\u2019t be fooled, it is ridiculously versatile.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Tascam 48-OB 8-Track Tape Machine\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Tape is a big part of my recording process. It&#8217;s just the sound that I\u2019m after, especially the Tascam 48 \u2013 that thing just sounds like \u201ctape.\u201d I&#8217;ve since moved onto an Otari MX70 16 track, but I did most of the new album with that 8 track. I would fill up as much as I could on the Tascam, then dump it into Logic for overdubs etc. Then I would mix down to tape again. I always try to hit tape at least twice.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">KESMAR \u2013 &#8216;Johatsu&#8217; (Feat.
