consistency is boring, continuity is imperative


We finished tracking our upcoming full length last Friday! Our friend Jade "I'm allergic to cats" Sotto swooped in and saved the day laying down some lovely harmonies. She’s a one take gal, like Alex "give a little whistle" Craver, except he’s a man-boy. We are planning on heading back to Woodstock in the next couple of weeks to finish mixing the album and hopefully visit some animals. We ended up laying down fourteen tracks in five days! Chris Bittner, our engineer, was amazing! The album is wildly inconsistent, or as I like to say fun and unpredictable. We were very concerned with continuity, paying close attention to flow. The trickiest part about having so many different band members, and consequently opinions, is finding that connecting link. We’ve come to embrace our brand of chaos, it’s been liberating to let go. I think people are going to love the songs we’ve written, I know that we do.
