Recent press on Joe Barresi...

"Joe encouraged us to try different instruments and techniques and he pushed us
to continually play everything until it was right too."

"[Joe] can make up sounds for any instrument out of anything at all. And he has that catalogued in his brain... He knows exactly what amp he has to go get and what levels it has to be at to get that sound he just invented. To see him do that, it was like an alchemy lab in there with a lot of different sounds. He was willing to try anything and everything. Which was great."

"We wanted to make more of a performance album. Something less polished. That's what [Joe Barresi] does. He makes good rock records. We wanted to make a good rock record... It's good. We needed a straight shooter. We're not the easiest band to make an album with."

"He is a really great producer. He came to Finland to record our cellos. I would say in the process it was the most fascinating album recording so far. Because we were really innovative in the studio and had many open questions in a recording situation... Joe was really cool guy and open to all the crazy ideas."

“It’s definitely the Parkway record I’m most proud of,” claims Winston. “We felt like we were in the deep-end recording with someone new, so to have it come out exactly how we wanted it, and pretty much exceed our expectations, is a big ask, but that’s exactly what Joe did for us."

"To be honest, it was the first time I actually felt like a musician. We worked for four weeks with Joe Barresi, and he worked us to the bone. It was great... Being responsible for creating all the sound on the record as opposed to leaving it up to a computer gave us a new drive we had never had before."

"Working with Joe Barresi was great... It’s the one record that I can listen to now and say that it’s the best we’ve ever done. The other records, I wasn’t disappointed, but I did think that we could have done this or that better, but when I listen to Wavering Radiant, even a year later, I still think it’s the best record we’ve ever made."
