    Lythium have recorded twice with Sean now and both times have been the best recording studio experience you could hope for. The new studio layout creates a comfortable atmosphere which allows for better performances (and less takes haha). Sean matches the enthusiam and passion you have and will offer suggestions if necessary. Would recommend to any band of any genre.

I have personally recommend Sean far and wide - can’t rate him highly enough.

Sean pays attention to every single detail and is always providing valuable input. Sometimes in
