#TBT: Q Lazzarus transfers archive of reel-to-reel tapes

This week, a fun piece of #TBT news we’ve been waiting to share for over a year–we were honored to host enigmatic NYC artist Q Lazzarus at our Manhattan facility in August of last year to transfer some of the band’s reel-to-reel 1/4” tapes to digital.

After being the subject of a small media frenzy in 2019 when a cryptic Twitter post resurfaced the long-quiet artist, Dazed reporters were able to confirm that she is still alive and well, but beyond that, weren’t able to initiate further contact with her, seemingly at her request for privacy.

As with all things Q Lazzarus, there was an air of mystery to the session, and we don’t know if the transfers are destined for a future re-release, for archival purposes, or for some other ends, but we do know that it was very special to have Q in studio. Dubway staff engineer Caleb Addy assisted with the transfer, ensuring no technical or physical issues with the tapes during the transfer process.
