The Genuine Fakes are preparing for the X-mas gift of the year… Stay tuned for the true X-mas spirit!

Yesterday we spent the evening laying down guitar tracks for the three new songs we started recording this weekend. I had quite a good evening I must say. For this session I had bought myself a brand new external sound card as well as a Rode microphone, which apparently sounds quite amazing. Haven’t tried those mics myself but according to popular opinion they rival mics twice the price. Anyway, so it was fun doing the guitar parts, switching between my Fender Telecaster/Vox and Hagström Viking/Peavey Classic setups. Doing the overdubs in your own rehearsal space makes things that much easier, and it sounds just as good as it did in the studio we worked in previously. Tomorrow we’re continuing. Maybe I can get done with all the guitar parts this week. That would be sweet.

As Morty previously stated, the drum tracking this weekend went really well. Tonight we continue with the rest, first up being guitars. It’s usually what takes up the most time so it’s best to just go ahead and get it done as soon as possible so we can move forward. The plan is to have all the tracking done within a month’s time.

the four of us have obviously been missing bad coffee and fitted carpets this summer.. yes, The Genuine Fakes has returned to the studio. right now, we’re focusing on three songs in particular and we’re all very happy with the result of today’s drum session. Johnny hade some quite excellent moments this afternoon!!
I hope to be going back to Eastman Studios in a couple of weeks, tracking maybe 3 or 4 songs. thanks to producer, engineer, musician and friend Per Björling for helping us out today! in the meantime… // Morty Fake
