So aside from prepping for a great show this Friday (Starry Plough in Berkeley @ 9pm), this is what we're about to be up to...
We've got a crapload of new songs and figured it would be good to track a bunch in the studio these next 2 weeks. We'll be laying down rhythm tracks today, doing a flurry of overdubs next week, and then Jonathan Eccles is mixing the whole thing in his studio / creepy windowless basement. These new pieces are very exciting and represent a great evolution of the sounds from our last record... we're not sure what comparisons to make, but we've been studying lots of arrangements from Talking Heads, Bowie's mid-70s period, and The Magnetic Fields, and these all seem like fine aesthetic guideposts. The best part is that, once we finish this EP, we'll even still have another 6-7 unrecorded songs to work through for an instantaneous follow-up.
We'll prolly start posting some unfinished mixes in the next month or so, and for now, wish us luck!
