Why Third Eye Blind Still Sounds So Good - with Dan Molad
On this episode of DeadWax we sit down with LA-based producer/engineer/multi-instrumentalist Dan Molad (Lucius, Coco) for a deep, nerdy, feelings-first listen. We break down Third Eye Blind’s “Losing a Whole Year” and why it still hits sonically—sub-bass, drum vibe, guitar texture, and that “hands in the air” emotional release—plus the subtle arrangement tricks hiding under the hood. In the Patreon extended episode, we jump into Lucius’ “Do It All For You,” digging into Dan’s recording and mixing choices: dual-vocal setups, real spring reverbs, layered drums, and the low-end kick/bass decisions. It’s a conversation about nostalgia, craft, and the tiny production moves that result in records that give you ALL the feels
