Red Rockets Glare is a Los Angeles recording studio, founded by musician, producer, and engineer Raymond Richards in 2003. The associated record label, Red Rockets Glare Records, has signed bands such as Frankel and the Leviathan Brothers, while artists that have recorded at the studio include The Broken West,Chapin Sisters, The Fling,The Monolators and My Own Holiday. Richards frequently produces albums at the studio, including Catch the Brass Ring (2007) by Ferraby Lionheart and Gorilla Manor (2009) by Local Natives.
Before founding the studio in 2003, producer and musician Raymond Richards began working as a touring pedal steel guitarist in 2001. He toured with artists including Mojave 3,Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions,Lisa Germano and The Brian Jonestown Massacre, while also attending the Academy of Art University in San Francisco from 2001 to 2004. He began collecting vintage gear and building his own microphones and pre-amplifiers, and started working as a producer at Red Rockets Glare in April 2003, founding the studio in the residential Rancho Park section of Los Angeles. The Studio was founded partly to help record the music of his own band, The Idaho Falls.
The Monolators recorded their 2005 album Our Tears Have Wings at the studio, and stated in 2006, "Red Rockets Glare was a converted garage. Unlike our garage, though, it's nice and comfortable and sound-treated inside, and, oh, it doesn't leak when it rains and form large patches of mold on the floor. That is fortunate."
