Harvey’s Kitchen: Amelia’s Mechanics, Part 1

3 Comments 21 Apr, 2010

Around a year ago, Molly McGinn ventured into our kitchen with a small outfit she hustled together from local musicians which she fondly called her “Buster Dillys.”

Over the course of the following 15 months or so she encountered Molly Miller and together with Kasey Horton they formed Amelia’s Mechanics, very quickly releasing their first album, “North South” produced by Jim Avett.

The collection of 12 songs authored by Molly Miller and Molly McGinn has received high praise from music critics together with strong circulation on college radio stations.

The two Mollys are currently working on their 2nd album to be produced by Laurelyn Dossett and 3 time Grammy Award Winner Steven Heller which will be recorded at Echo Mountain Studios within the next few months.

Echo Mountain Recording Studio has recorded such artists as The Avett Brothers, Chatham County Line, Smashing Pumpkins, Stephaniesid, Now You See Them, Samantha Crain and the Midnight Shivers amongst many others.

Kasey Horton is no longer with the band.

The flickering projector quality of some of the footage in this session was created using a homemade camera obscura rig: a cardboard box, a cracker jack magnifying glass and a rectangle of a recycled plastic grocery bag.
