The 2023 Milwaukee Psych Fest partnered with several labels, one of which was Chicago-based Trouble in Mind Records. They brought several of their bands with them including one of the many highlights and unexpected discoveries of the festival for me, France's En Attendant Ana.
This group, which formed in 2014, has more of a jangly indie-pop feel than what many might expect at a festival labeled as being "psychedelic," but one of the many strengths of this festival has been the wide range of music to be found annually at the Cooperage.
This recording was made using a pair of Line Audio CM3 wide cardioid mics in NOS configuration in the balcony, next to video projectionist Lance Gordon (Mad Alchemy) providing his unique liquid light show. I added in a mono soundboard feed which sounded quite thin yet provided needed clarity in some of the upper frequencies.
