The mixing of our debut album is progressing quite rapidly at this point. We’re about 75% done now! With three more songs to go and some minor tweaking on the rest we’ll soon be ready for mastering. We’ll give a more thorough update with track listing and such soon.

I hope y’all have had a great holiday and beginning of the new decade. We’ve certainly recharged our batteries over the past month and are at the moment focused on finishing mixing the debut album. In mid-March the songs are being sent to mastering so by then it has to be finished. Our hope is to have the album out in May at the latest. 2010 is a good year to release a debut, no?

Keep checking this space for updates!

Stay safe, stay fake.

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.
