Is it DEC already?
Well well, so much time has gone by!
Currently we're winding down a short holiday hiatus after a long round of rehearsals. Jay from the Deepsleep Narcotics Company has been sitting in with us, and having a live drummer has rocked our world's so hard we've been reconfiguring things slightly. We're just shy of basically being a show looking for event to barnstorm. Hopefully more news on that soon, as we're pursuing all the irons we got in the fire.
The record reached a major milestone this week, in that primary composition has been completed. Basically the record is now written, especially musically. For me personally it's a big frickin' deal, as now I can shift to engineering and producing overdubs, finalizing lyrics for master vocal tracking, and prepping to mix. For you people... it doesn't look that much different. The band now have to do some various replacing of sequenced parts, and we prep to track a few important things. The songs... are awesome. 12 tracks right now, we may throw a surprise on there when we go to master though. I've been listening to the recent final demos in sequence and getting wet in all the right places, so we're "go" for the record.
And, just to show I'm not batshit crazy, here's a little video snippet that I've been promising since the dawn of time.
You get a sneak peak at "My Turn" and "Way of the Dog" in there, as well as us rehearsing with the ultra-fabulous Hands of Kali.
We'll be starting overdubs as soon as people return for lands beyond, I'll update as they occur. Next time maybe I'll do an "all-geek" behind the scenes technically. Though not exciting, it's still interesting to see the songs deconstructed.
