Kaplow, Joe
Sending Money And Stems
The title of his second full length album, Sending Money and Stems, is not just a reference to life currency, but also a description of how the album came to be. "Normally I would have flown up to Portland and sat in the room with Mike (Coykendall) as he mixed, but because of covid I had to email him stems (raw audio files) and we would go back and forth a few times until we got it right. When one song was done, I'd text him and be like 'Ok man, next song coming up; sending money and stems!'" The new album fills in the holes of Time Spent In Between. It's more band oriented, more groove based, more uptempo, more hifi, and more happy go lucky than his previous work. "Yeah, Time Spent In Between was a heavy record..."
