I am currently holding a 2cm long USB memory stick. Rather impressively, it's only half full but contains everything we've recorded in the last 14 days - all drums, cello, double bass, regular bass, hammond organ, piano, acoustic guitars, electric guitar, and vocals, all fed into the desk through at least three several different microphones at the same time. Technology is a wonder!
So, I am excited to officially say that the new album will definitely contain the following tracks (in no particular order) -
Money, Nicotine, Shoes, Skin, Carry Me (Part I), Carry Me (Part II), Driving, Soldier, Beethoven, Make It Quiet, & Bones.
It's been a loooooooong two weeks, and despite time pressures, we've managed to finish all but the backing vocals. I want to say a huge thank you to everybody who has been involved so far, not just to the musicians and techies who have contributed, but to all the crowdfunders, and anybody who has been reading the blog. It means a lot and I can't wait for you all to hear the finished record!
This will be the last update for a few weeks, until the next stage of the process. Mixing (and recording the last few bits and bobs) will begin on the 27th May, at The VIP Lounge in Penzance. I'm delighted to be working again with the legendary Dare Mason, who's worked with lots of the greats and who did such a brilliant job on Let Me Be The Shadow Of Your Dog back in 2008.
So, until then everybody - thanks for reading and keep spreading the word! Track order and artwork details coming soon.
