Back to work

Tonight Jase and I (and it sounds like Darby too) are going back into the studio to finish up recording. This whole experience has been really cool, and the results should be incredible. Even just the rough mixes sound so good, if that was all we got out of it, it would be worth it.

Jase wrote some harmonies for me to sing on at least one of the tracks. I am excited about it, but I am also scared senseless. I do not consider myself to be a singer, and I am a bit nervous that what I contribute vocally won't be up to snuff (I guess Darby will be there to tell me if I sound a little off). I am always excited about trying something new, so I guess I just have to file this in the something new category. Having BGVs on our songs will be one of those little touches that makes music just so much better. That is the thing that I am most excited about with our new recordings... all of the little touches that we added here and there. The production / intense practice that Josh (Jason's brother who is the gutitarist form Boy Sets Fire) helped us with made such a big difference in our sound. We ground through each song and changed dynamics, took out repetition, and added new parts to create a much more polished sound. It was really nice of Josh to work with us (and really fun too).

So, if you liked our music before, get ready, because (in my entirely UN-objective opinion) things just got a whole lot better.
