  1. Review by Jimi C.

    Lythium have recorded twice with Sean now and both times have been the best recording studio experience you could hope for. The new studio layout creates a comfortable atmosphere which allows for better performances (and less takes haha). Sean matches the enthusiam and passion you have and will offer suggestions if necessary. Would recommend to any band of any genre.

I have personally recommend Sean far and wide - can’t rate him highly enough.

Sean is continuously looking to improve which is why I know he will make anything he is involved with a success. During the recording process, Sean switch control rooms. This again, enhanced our sound, especially the drums. The tracks are very clear, bright and he has accomplished what we intended; to replicate our live sound. Sean pays attention to every single detail and is always providing valuable input. Sometimes in
