Hayley Williams singing “Fox’s Dream of the Log Flume” with mewithoutYou from their concert in Nashville.
At this point, we have recorded one song with Justin. That time in the studio was easily the most relaxed, inspired, and liberating experiences we have had in any studio thus far. We are huge fans of his work not only as a producer but as a musician, writer and musical director. He wears all those hats well and with a lot of humility.
