Greetings and happy early Thanksgiving everyone. Just wanted to check in and try to keep this semi regular posting going. We’ve had a couple productive practices up in Austin last week and are chugging along finishing the songs for the next full length record. The plan is to find a place to occupy for about a week and just record without too much distraction. This week’s media selection is an iphone recording of one of the songs that will probably be on the record. It’s Zac and I jamming in the garage of the duplex months and months ago and is actually the very first time the “song” was ever played. So there you have it, the recorded birth of a song. Hope you enjoy.

when the drummer is away?  Synth.  Lots of it.  haha-  Actually, we got together in Zac’s absence to work out some of the new songs acoustically in preparation for some upcoming recording sessions.  With no fat beats to rely on, we’re forced to figure out the more subtle themes and movement of each song.  That was the idea, anyways.  We figured out some new sections to songs, and brought in our friend Johnny, a talented and creative writer among other things, to listen and perhaps create some short stories and themes to inspire and accompany the music.  I brought my newly beefed up recording rig to capture what happened.  The following excerpt comes from the later part of the evening when the acoustic guitars went away and the synths came out.  The drum machine sound comes from Chris’s Omnichord.  Just a jam- check it out

Hello everyone. We’re trying to post more things on here, so we’ll start with this. It’s a newish song tentatively titled Di Di and featuring our friend Dialect free styling a verse. Expect some more audio/video soon. We’re getting ready to record the next full length and still trying to finish up that EP we started so long ago.
