Narwhal Studio Chicago

Located in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood, Narwhal Studios is a collaboration between producer / drummer Brian Deck and producer / drummer Jim Gifford. Occupying the space of Brian's previous studio, Engine, where hundreds of great recordings were made by artists like Modest Mouse and Iron and Wine, Narwhal is a modern take on a classic analog studio. Our goal is simple: to create the best environment for making creative music. Featuring great sounding rooms with lots of natural light we added the best consoles available, a Rupert Neve Designs 5088 Shelford and an SSL 4040, as well as lots of analog outboard gear, great mics and cool instruments.
