John Wolfington

John Wolfington began his street to learning to be a Smells Like Information recording designer when he changed trains around the subway and landed alongside Thurston Moore, who was simply engrossed inside a book, but accepted the tape that Wolfington handed him — a track called “Coney Isle Freak” that contained recommendations to Sonic Youngsters. The tape produced little impact, however in 1999 when Wolfington delivered a five-song demo to HAS THE AROMA OF Records recording designer Tim Foljahn of Two Buck Acoustic guitar, Foljahn was therefore impressed that he exceeded the tape along to SLR main Steve Shelley, resulting in the discharge of Wolfington’s self-titled debut in January 2001. Documented mainly at Brooklyn’s Rare Publication Room, the recording features Shelley and Foljahn on over 1 / 2 of its tunes, with the total amount being a blend between new songs and tunes from the initial demo. Following a six-year sabbatical in L.A., Wolfington came back to the studio room to record ten tunes with Steve Shelley on drums and Tim Foljahn on bass. The recording, American Dreamsicle, got only weekly to complete (three times to record and four to combine) and premiered in August 2007.
