Townsend Mastering
Professional digital/vinyl mastering engineer
It’s been one week since “Six Shades of Grey” dropped! Thank you for all the love!
Have you listened to it yet? Have you seen the video? Please like, comment, and share 🙏
I’m totally indie. No label or a publishing company behind me at the moment. Your support means the absolute world to me.
The song was inspired by my personal and painful struggle with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. About six months or so after writing this song, I did a three month partial hospitalization program for OCD that was extremely helpful. Exposure and Response Prevention is very scary and unpleasant, but it is effective. I hope this song makes someone else out there feel understood and less alone.

Vinyl Mastering Appreciation Post:
@townsendmastering has been crucial in getting our plant up and performing on all cylinders over the last two years.Many folks don’t have a clue when it comes to mastering for vinyl and Nick is always there to guide our clients through the process.We have a high bar to hit when it comes to our cuts and he always delivers.
If you need masters for vinyl or just digital masters give Nick a shout. Word is he’s a pretty good baseball player as well if you need him on any rec league baseball team.
Here’s to you @townsendmastering 🏆
#vinylceremony #vinylmastering #recording #neuman

This one hits close to our hearts. @banecentral is a STAPLE in the hardcore community and we couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this. Shoutout to the @equalvision crew and @saladdaysstudio for the remix of a lifetime 👊

ARE YOU KIDDING ME! 😭😭😭😭 Thank you SO MUCH @spotify for putting my new song “Six Shades of Grey” in FOUR official Spotify playlists: All New Rock, The New Alt, Southern Gothic, and Dark & Stormy. I am profoundly grateful for your support.
I wrote this song from the depths of OCD suffering, from torturous and painful uncertainty, the shades of grey, the intrusive, all-consuming thoughts and stomach-churning fear. The obsessiveness and compulsions, creating chaos in my brain and life. I’m grateful that this song is out there in the world now. For others with OCD, you’re not alone. And there is light at the end of the tunnel. Exposure and Response Prevention is very, very scary. It feel likes you’re actively choosing to march toward your doom, but it is very effective. It helps OCD so much, if we’re brave enough to take that leap of faith and do the work. It’s still a daily struggle and likely always will be—OCD is always coming up with new ways to put me in its torturous riddles—but when I’m brave enough to be consistent with the work it drastically improves my quality of life.
Special thanks to @leahzeger for playing violin on this song. To my husband @john_nasty_forever for helping me build a home studio and producing it with me. And for making the chilling music video. To @creeksta for your brilliant mixing. @townsendmastering for your wonderful mastering. To @little_vampire for your emotional and creative support. To @smashleywalters for shooting the stunning cover image. And to Pierre Thivillier for your support. To my mom. And to Mish. Love you guys.
