All tracking has now been completed for our second record, Histrionics.
Todd, as ever, played a blinder on the engineering front and brought some great and expertise input into proceedings. Rhys Pierce is also the funniest guy you could ever wish to be in the studio with.
Aside from myself being rotten ill for the first couple of days, everything went swimmingly. Todd played back an initial rough mix of the songs on the last day, and what struck me was how much more rounded and considered a record this is in comparison with Before The Roars and the Goodtime Boys split. I could talk/type all day about the songs, but i'm gonna hang fire until we get the mixes back.
Here is the final track-listing for anyone interested:
1) House Of America
2) Blank Cities
3) Harmony In The Heart Of A Hurricane
4) Drug Money
5) Whatever Keeps You Alive
6) Histrionics
7) Penance For Raped Angels
8) Gorgeous Horses
9) An Extended History Of The Bullfight
10) Lake Palmer
11) New Adventures In Wi-Fi
Sometime next month we have to shoot a video for what will ultimately be the 'first single' i guess. Will be an incredibly tough call as there are currently about six really strong candidates! Think we're gonna need to farm some of the mixes out to a few loved ones and trusted aquaintances and go with the favourite.
