Recording Our Second Record
In June we went down to Broadside Studios in Kalamazoo to start work on the basic tracks for our second record. It’s been almost two years since Expedition Songs hit the streets, so we’re definitely ready.
We recorded drums, bass and guitars pretty much live. Things went great and we somehow managed to track everything in about nine hours. Dan was a champion and only took one or two takes to get his drums tracks down. The rest of the time was spent cleaning up a few guitar and bass spots and then doubling all of the guitars (plus a few shredding solos).
We’ve been rocking the rough, instrumental mixes and are pretty excited about how it’s all sounding. The songs sound a bit more dynamic than Expedition Songs. I guess what we’re trying to say is that the rock is more ROCK and the quiet is more…
The next step is to head over to Tempermill to record the vocals in September. We’ll let you know as things start to come together.
