Mixing of the new cd is complete!

… or as complete as my wallet will allow. heh. The rest of the session went pretty fast with little fanfare. Paul and I re-tracked more vocals and added a few extra keyboard tracks here and there. ‘Ego’, ‘Sweet Simulacra’ and ‘First Five’ got the treatment they deserved and sound even better with the additional parts. Just some extra junk to push them further along (or off?) the bridges, as if the listener needed to hear more noise in the mix.

Today we’re doing a photo shoot. My friend Amanda kindly offered to take them gratis! She rented a colorful suite at this over-the-top, chic hotel and will be taking individual and group portraits. Should be a fun time. Better than doing the cliche ‘band standing in front of brick wall’ or ‘band standing on railroad tracks’ or ‘band covered in honey, running naked off cliff while being chased by pack of George Rodrigue Blue Dogs’ photos.

I’ll put a few snippets of the new material up this week. So check back soon for some music instead of words.
