Tim sits down with Connor Fitzgerald, the drummer and mix engineer for the Berlin-based instrumental outfit Lords of Lounge. Following the May 2026 release of their highly anticipated third album, Lords of Lounge 3, Connor discusses the band's evolution from an accidental hotel lobby gig to a masterclass in minimalistic, lo-fi recording. They dive deep into the unique production choices behind the new album's melancholic tone, the magic of dual-guitar interplay, and how a standard pocket wallet serves as an essential studio tool.
