Death Cab For Cutie guitarist and uber-producer
Chris Walla recently teamed up with Jawbox/Burning Airlines/Channels frontman and uber-producer
J. Robbins to write and record a song in two days for
NPR's Project Song Challenge. The pair had never met before they walked into the studio to work on the song, "Mercury." You can watch videos of the making of the song and hear "Mercury"
here. Robbins' band, Jawbox, recently announced that they would
reunite after 12 years to play
Late Night With Jimmy Fallon in December.
J. Robbins is so awesome. Jawbox and Burning Airlines are still two bands I love to pieces. Glad to see he's still making new music. P.S. Chris Walla is pretty rad, too.
