Mike Doughty's Oct. 6th Release Recorded at Kampo Studios (NYC)
Mike Doughty of Soul Coughing fame will release Sad Man Happy Man October 6th on ATO Records.
According to his label, musically, Sad Man Happy Man finds Doughty returning to his acoustic roots, with stripped-down arrangements that feature Doughty backing himself on guitar. Doughty also did all the drum programming, as well as played keyboards and what he calls the “weird noise stuff.” Doughty’s long-time touring partner Andrew “Scrap” Livingston handles bass duties.
The album was recorded at New York’s Kampo Studios, and was co-produced by Doughty and engineer Pat Dillett, (They Might Be Giants, David Byrne, Arto Lindsay), with the exception of album’s first single “Doubly Gratified,” which was produced by David Kahne, who helmed Soul Coughing’s 1996 album Irresistible Bliss, as well as albums by Paul McCartney, Sugar Ray, and Tony Bennett.
