Here’s a sneak preview of one of the new tunes, ‘Over-dosed’. Still a rough mix, but includes tasty vocals and theramin from Russell of Oliver’s Army! So much going on, so difficult to dance to, but it came out pretty much like my ‘in my head’ version.
[audio:JonesThing-Overdosed.mp3]Drums – Trey Carmichael
Bass – Eric Neal
Vocals, Theramin – Russell Bartholomee
Organs – Mark Pittman
Geetars, Organs & Vocals – Jeff
All tracks are done! Russell came over today and nailed the duet vox in the first two takes. His theramin part is going to be insane once we add some fx to it. We then concentrated on a Japanese Rock song – made it even goofier than the original demo. Will hopefully get the vocals/translations done this weekend.
Next up – mixing!
Ok – Almost there – Just need the great Russell from OA to do a vocal part and Theramin part on Monday. We’re also gonna record some fake Japanese Pop Rock songs for a movie!
Then it’s off to mixin’! Then mastering. Then artwork (still looking for a graphic artist to help). Then done.
I am seriously considering making this a digital-only release, since very few actually buy cds these days (RIP Cd World). This would save me a ton of $$$ too. WordPress has a great e-commerce plugin for digital downloads. CD Baby accepts digital releases and still distributes them to iTunes. Still need to think about it.
