Back in the Game

After spending nigh on a full year neglecting the site and working on the album, we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. In fact, we're expecting a complete album by the end of the summer! 90% of the recording is finished, with only a few loose ends to wrap up. Next comes the general mixing and mastering, of which a lot we'll do ourselves. Here's what you can expect to hear on the next album:

 

  • 5 tunes by Adam. Of them: a nice soulful Floyd-esque 6/8 tune, another 6/8 tune called Out of the West Wood, and Manhattan Neon, a big band sounding tune.
  • 4 tunes by me, Bryan. One is a bluesy shuffle tune, one is heavily inspired by Floyd and another that is a straight up jazz ballad.
  • 2 tunes by the band. Monkey's Hat and Stonewaltz are funky tunes and are really our best tunes for getting the blood pumping.
  • 1 more tune by Chris. This one is still heavily under construction, but its a cool sounding round at a fast clip with a swing feel.

 

We're also on the prowl for more live gigs, so keep your ears and eyes peeled!
