Hey, my son Sean Flora is quoted in the current issue of Mix, a publication for professional audio and music production, in connection with his work on the landmark Shins album, Wincing the Night Away, that shot to the top of four Billboard magazine charts upon its Jan. 23 release.
You can read the whole thing here.
The pertinent poop is that he gets mentioned in the second paragraph as engineer with producer Joe Chiccarelli on the album and quoted later on, thus:
Chiccarelli and Flora tried to be creative when it came to recording the drums, too. In addition to the standard complement of mics across the kit, the duo set up Neumann TLM 170s across the room and a mono Lawson L251 in front of the kick drum. “It's a nice, big, wood room with a high ceiling,” Flora reports. “The 170s were across the room set on omni, so it was possible to get a lot of the room sound in there. Once it was compressed, it wasn't so washy as it was the midrange ‘oomph’ that you get from room mics.” As for the 251, Chiccarelli says, “It provided the best leakage and that tone became most of the drum sound.”
The album is still #12 on Billboard's Top Independent Albums and #91 in the ITunes top 100 albums, and Amazon.com customers gave it 4½ out of 5 stars.
