Stolen Jars: Bright Red

Peluso Microphone Lab Presents: Yellow Couch Sessions

The songwriting and arrangements from Stolen Jars both immediately jumped out at me. I also appreciated the fact that their most recent and excellent release, "glint," was released as a visual EP and each song is paired with an equally intriguing video component. Taken all together, it's easy to understand why NPR's Bob Boilen singled them out as a band to watch at last year's CMJ festival. 

For this video, we used lots of great Peluso mics, including a new handheld microphone with a large diaphragm condenser capsule called the Peluso Stage One or PS1, which we used to mic Cody's guitar cabinet. Chris Newett from Peluso describes the microphone thusly: "It is a true large diaphragm condenser hand held stage mic. "It is equipped with on board 18dB pad, high-end and low-end roll-off switching. It's phantom powered, solid state, all with balanced transformer output stage."

Here are the other mics used:
