Beginner’s Guide” was born out of the necessity to capture the feelings and sounds of a band whose future was uncertain. Two of the core band members were leaving New York City for greener pastures, creating a newfound energy for the band.What better way to bid a timely adieu than with a new record? “Beginner’s Guide” was recorded 3 months after the cymbals stopped ringing for the “Ended Up Making Love” sessions (Team Love Records, March ’16). Recorded at The Glass Wall Studio in Brooklyn, NY in late August 2015 with the wolves (Timothy Allen, Conor Elmes, Jesske Humes), the finishing touches were then recorded at ARC Studio in Omaha, NE and the record was ultimately mastered back in Brooklyn. Miwi La Lupa enlisted longtime friend, filmmaker, and music enthusiast Mike Allen to make his debut as Producer, stating that “nobody knows my demos, even before “New Way Home”, better than Mike. I trust his musical ear, industry knowledge, and dedicated work ethic.” The unique sound of “Beginner’s Guide” can be lauded to Allen’s aspirant producing methods. Woven throughout the record are samples of “The Language of the Wolves” narrated by Robert Redford, adding a peculiar harmony to the record.Songs on the latest Autumn release “Beginner’s Guide” were written both with the entrenched lingering of the earlier Spring’s “EUML” record, but also with new found maturity in mind. La Lupa’s adroit lyrics are a reflection of new times and new beginnings, which leads him to rightfully title this record “Beginner’s Guide.” Tigershrimp Records was born on September 22nd 2016 with combined efforts from musician Miwi La Lupa and producer Mike Allen, with “Beginner’s Guide” being the first release on the adolescent label.
