We first caught up with J Fernandez at our CMJ show back in 2013, and were pumped to run into them again on the tail end of their SXSW journey at this private show an hour away from the madness. Here, the band performed a stripped-down set that included new material as well as offerings from their excellent two-EP collection of No Luck and Olympic Village. Though run ragged from a very busy schedule over the week, J Fernandez played this private show with real panache, with these songs coming to life as live numbers in a way that distinguished them from their lo-fi EP counterparts. The band, like most of their counterparts, has been on the festival circuit heavily this summer, most recently hitting Canada with comrades Alvvays, and returning to that country next month for POP Montreal. We can’t wait to see what this guys will do next.

As you can see in the photo, I recorded this set simply, with Schoeps MK4V microphones right in front of the band. The vocals are a touch low in places owing to the DIY setup, but overall the sound quality is excellent. Enjoy!

Thanks to J. Fernandez for permitting this recording.

J Fernandez: October 17, 2013 NYCTaper CMJ at Cake Shop – Flac/MP3/Streaming

The plethora of good bedroom recording artists presents an enigma for booking shows. For every successful transition to excellent live band (Wild Nothing, Purling Hiss) there are a dozen or more who can’t get beyond solo-guy-with-laptop on stage. When we learned that the excellent Chicago dream-pop artist J Fernandez was coming to NYC for CMJ shows, we jumped at the chance to book him. Fernandez has been releasing a series of singles over the last few years on local labels, and last year Morning Ritual Recordings compiled them all on an excellent release No Luck / Olympic Village. But we had no idea what he’d be like live. It was within the first thirty seconds of the first song that I quickly realized that J Fernandez isn’t just a bedroom pop act, but indeed a superb live band with abundant talent and stage presence. Justin and the band paced through many of the tunes from the compilation and a few new ones, and live the tunes took on a very tasty psychedelic feel not prevalent on the more two-dimensional recorded tracks. We are streaming “No Luck”, the title track of one of the EPs and a featured track. Given the quality of this performance, we hope that J Fernandez and the band come East more often.

I recorded this set with the Sennheiser cardioids mounted above the front of the stage and mixed with a soundboard feed. The sound quality is superb. Enjoy!
