On the heels of completing the upcoming Foo Fighter’s album Wasting Light, The Lodge Chief Mastering Engineer Emily Lazar and Mastering Engineer Joe LaPorta have been working with a handful of great artists and bands.

The Pains of Being Pure At Heart at The Lodge (l-r): Alex Naidus, Joe LaPorta, Emily Lazar, Peggy Wang and Kip Berman.

Lazar and LaPorta mastered The Pains of Being Pure at Heart‘s new album (out today), Belong, which was produced/mixed by the UK duo Flood and Alan Moulder and recorded by NYC-based James Brown at Stratosphere Sound.

Next, trance-pop superstar Tiësto returned to The Lodge with his latest mix compilation, “Club Life Vol 1: Las Vegas,” which is the first release on his own imprint, Musical Freedom.

Other new projects include Raven In The Grave, the fifth studio album by The Raveonettes, as well as a new collaborative single from Serj Tankian (System of a Down) and Shirley Manson (Garbage) entitled “The Hunger.”

Against Me! also returned with a collection of unreleased demos and rarities Fat Wreck Chords released last week entitled “Total Clarity,” which Lazar and LaPorta wrapped up just in time to master some new albums by Downtown Records’ White Denim, and Columbia Records’ Cults.

    Too bad Wasting Light got completely squashed to death… I hope that the vinyl master sounds better.

    Really, I wouldn’t brag about mastering Raven In The Grave… It’s absolutely redlined throughout. The most clipped, crushed mastering job I’ve ever heard. Brutal. You guys should be ashamed. I really mean it.
