Candids from one of the days

Our friend Rodrigo De Medeiros stopped by to take some pictures for us on one of the studio days:

Happy Birthday, Aaron

It's now officially Aaron's birthday.  In honor of this blessed day, Katy made him special cookies with his initials on them.  And they tasted way better than they looked.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Brown.

Day four complete, and we walk away from Fastback Studios with 12 great songs. We still have a lot of work to get them to where we want them, but the studio part is done - and that feels pretty good.

Thanks again to FBS - Bryce, Jason and Mark. Great studio and great people.

And of course thanks to Mr Jon Auer - he has been a great help and a true visionary for this project.

Time for bed...

Finished. For Now...

We're officially done with our four day recording adventure.  We're really excited about what we accomplished so far, and we wouldn't have been able to do it without the help of Jon, Jason, Bryce, and Mark.  We also wouldn't be able to pull this off without the support of our friends and families.  Thanks to everyone.

Over the next month or two or three, we'll be adding and subtracting, tweaking and smoothing, mixing and mastering.  Hopefully we'll have new music to share by springtime.

The Mighty B3

We're finishing the session by adding some Hammond B3 to a number of tracks. For those of you who aren't familiar with the B3, think of a mighty church organ. It's an amazing sound, and it's giving us a big charge as we wrap things up.

Almost there...

7:23pm...last day. We are all pretty tired. Today we recorded Hot House (i think this turned out really good) and also 2 "extra" songs - "dilittante" and "scared of airplanes" (just making corrections and placing final touches now). I'm happy that we got through everything we wanted to - a total of 12 songs. I hope, that when this is all over, the album is an accurate reflection of all the hard work that we have put into it.

Will be posting new photos soon.

Eleven Songs

About an hour ago we got all the tracks down that we wanted. We're all very happy about that, and we hope you are too. Now we're recording a song tentatively titled Dilettante. It's one of those songs that has been with us for a long time and has morphed a number of times. It's sounding pretty good. More later.
